Troubleshooting chromebooks
As chromebooks don't have a full operating system, a simple reboot/refresh will solve most hardware and software issues.
Simple Reboot: hold the refresh and tap the power button.
If the chromebook won't turn on - hold the power button down for 20 - 30 seconds. Release the power button when the chrome symbol pops up. You may need to allow the chromebook battery to completely discharge if this doesn't work.
Check your charger connections. Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the charger block as well as into the wall outlet.
