Thanks Tim, I fixed mine about a hour ago, after watching your video. Fortunately there was no broken parts, so I didn't have to order anything, just a bit of tape and a cut off a sticky pad to hold it in place.
Dude! Thank you. My friend's HP Chromebook was dead. No lights, no response to reset buttons. I simply followed your suggestion to unplug the battery for a few seconds. Plugged it back in and it fired up. Thank you
Thank you so much!! This worked! My computer is in, I'm grateful that you care enough to provide this DIY remedy, I'm single women who needed help , I sure got it
Thank you very much for your advice. My Chromebook is back to life. Similarly to other users it didn't even have light indicators on. I guess some faulty currents were circuiting in the battery and they had to be discharged... Still, thank you again and keep up you good work in helping people. Best regards!
AHHHHH THANK U. THANK U SOO MUCH I THOUGHT I WAS A GONNER, I THOUGH MY CHROME BOOK WAS A GONNER. THANK U SOO MUCH. IT WAS SCARY FOR TRYING TO TAK IT APART BUT IT WAS WORTH. AGAIN THANK YOU!!
9/11/2020 - Totally worked!!!!! I searched and searched for a solution for my Acer Chromebook spin 11 (n17q8) which was not charging or turning on. I was nervous open up the back, but you made it look easy. A few screw were stubborn, but I got them eventually. And was nervous peeling off the back, but got it gingerly. Found the connection you showed. Unplugged it for about 10 seconds and then plugged it back in. snapped the back on (still have to screw it together) and plugged in the cord. The thing sprang to life!!! Thanks!!!!
Worked like a charm. Acer CP311, opened it up (asked my server room admin for the tools) and unplugged batter cable.. waited a minute. Reattached battery cable, closed it all up, put the power cord back on.... and it started to boot up. Nice... Shame, but nice. Will not get a ACER again due to this, sad.
THERE’S a fix that’s much easier...try this first. Press the Right Arrow Key and the Power button SIMULTANEOUSLY for a full 10 seconds. Then press the Power key. My Chromebook responded to this Fix, and saved me a bunch of time. Good luck.
Aces Josh. Only thing I can add is make sure not to strip any of these screws. Better to lose a few screws than try to remove a stripped or screw that wont remove. Acer should have included a hardware reset switch.
This problem has been happening on my Acer Chromebook 11 randomly for over a year, but normally folding it closed gets it going again. Last night it just wouldn't restart even holding On/Off button and refresh button at the same time. This worked! Man I'm starting to hate commie/fascist RUclips, but I still love RUclipsrs who so generously help others. Thanks so much Josh!
I have the same laptop as you but my battery charges but the screen just doesn’t turn on, I have tried everything and it just seems like there is no life other than the orange light being on when being charged?
we may be able to modify this by putting a small switch on the side that will disconnect all the battery together or maybe just Plus it should be able to work the main power cord that way you don't have to open the whole entire laptop
webx Well...Build it. Market it & sell that s$@* on google. Then sell your patent to google & watch the competition shrink. American dream “Shattering Corp”.
Please give mi a response I have a acer chrome book spin 311 I tried what u did in the video but it’s still not working the light that was on the side won’t com on but when it plugs in it gets warm but still won’t turn one the battery is really slack the some screws are missing for the battery
Sounds like you've got a different fault on yours. The battery trick I show is good for a lot of things but unfortunately there's more than one way for a chromebook to break.
thanks this might help me. my screen does this. had to send it in for repair because screen was flickering and then just wouldnt turn on. Absolutely will never buy an acer again
Not sure if it would fix it but the process is likely very similar and if you take it apart and out it together again properly it sure wouldn't hurt. Good luck!
I'll try it later. Same problem as my chrimebook now I just used it while watching the other night and charge it this morning it's black after I open it.
Thats not the power button. Press Refresh and the power button (side of the computer) at the same time it'll come on. I have an issue with the charging porrt where the charger itself has to be at a certain angle or it wouldnt charge. itll say its charging but it will say a number and then the percent. Doesnt give a time until full hwere i know its charging... I have no clue what to do and i think its something inside the computer
Thank you for this tip ! I wasn't looking forward to taking the back off. My Acer is a little different with the power button and refresh both on the top row of the keyboard. But what you said worked. Very grateful.
Yes, this worked for my Acer 315 ... 4 times in less than 2 years. I shouldn't have cheaped out and stuck with HP. So, does anyone know what the main issue is? Battery? Some other component that costs more than the LP itself maybe? Live and learn I guess.
I'm not really surprised to see new models continuing to have essentially the same issue with essentially the same fix. I don't think it necessarily comes down to brand though, there are comments in here from people with basically every chromebook and even some regular laptops that this helped get working again. When my R11 was doing it it was way more than 4 times in 2 years, it was like every other week! So I had the process down!
Sooo that didn’t work. Now what ? Mine was working fine. It died. I had it plugged in. Indicator was on. Then all of a sudden. It won’t turn on. No light indicator.
Thanks Tim, I fixed mine about a hour ago, after watching your video. Fortunately there was no broken parts, so I didn't have to order anything, just a bit of tape and a cut off a sticky pad to hold it in place.
This worked on my Acer chromebook 11 when I was about to run over it with my car. Thanks, mate.

Thank you so much for sharing this. As soon as I started to open the back it came alive.
Thanks so much, I would have been a goner I spilled water on my sister's Chromebook you're a lifesaver.
Thanks so much. It helped me turn it on before I smashed the chrome book for a vid
Thank you so much just tried it with a newer model and it worked great.

After six months of use, my Acer R11 white chromebook died. I want to know if I can also fix this issue by purchasing a new adapter. Please help.

You say this happened on occasionS. Is there a pattern to when it happens?
Not that I have found, it just randomly happened now and then.

Nice everyone's worked except mine, fml🤦♂️
The Club Sandwich same here!
Same
Same didn't work now I'm afraid I can't use warranty since I opened it up 😢
Same
Sucks to suck bro
It's best to push one side then the other , and repeat the motion until the connector goes out.
Mine still works but it seems like a common occurrence. I'll come here if this happens to mine
Thanks! your information helped me a lot.

@@brokedown547 Indeed. The price goes up, and the quality goes down with too many -what used to be - good brands.
Mine turned off randomly and won't turn back on, the lights are not on, I have tried hard resetting, charging it, but nothing works.
You are the man bro
Thx bro u deserve that sub
Sooo that didn’t work. Now what ?
Mine was working fine. It died. I had it plugged in. Indicator was on. Then all of a sudden. It won’t turn on. No light indicator.
Same here idk
Mine still doesn't work😭😭
Yo 777 because he lied he clicked the lock button not the power button
@@busopp those buttons are the same some chromebooks have it as a power icon and some as a lock icon
Faded Gaming but I have this specific model and I can’t turn it on like that
Faded Gaming hope u fix your Cromebook to
Make sure you plug it in before trying to power back on, that’s why it doesn’t work sometimes
Oml thank you so much ❤️
