Lenovo Chromebook C330: Can I force recovery mode?

Sat, 22 Jun 2024 12:01:41 -0700

My c330 Chromebook is getting the dreaded “Chrome OS is missing or damaged” error screen. I am trying to use the recovery tool provided by Google, but I cannot get the Chromebook to go into Recovery Mode. I have tried the Esc+Refresh while powering up, I’ve tried the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+r to go to factory reset. I have tried holding the Volume Up and Down buttons at power up. I have also tried inserting media (USB flash drive and SD card) with the recovery utility. None of these work. Is there any other way to force the Chromebook into Recovery Mode? I am not opposed to taking the computer apart, summoning a friendly demon, holding a seance, or any other possibilities.

Lenovo Chromebook 100S: Why is my keyboard typing the incorrect keys?

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 00:56:52 -0700

Hey guys,

Hopefully someone can be of some assistance. I have a Lenovo 100S Chromebook that has recently began acting up. A few days ago I did a surface wipe down of the device, cleaning any dirt and dust that was mucking it up. I used a wet wipe/disinfectant wipe for the job like I have countless times in the past. However afterwards the keyboard started acting funny. Some of the keys don't work at all, while others end up typing incorrect letters or type multiple letters at once. Some other keys even go as far as messing with the brightness control, acting like the tab key, changing volume, refreshing, and all sorts of weird combinations.

I'm not entirely sure what happened here, and it's been annoying because the semester just started and I need a small laptop like this to take notes on and handle my school work. I've opened the back of the Chromebook up and reseated the keyboard connection, that didn't help. I rebooted the device several times, didn't help either. I went as far as to do a power wash which also netted me no results. I'm not sure what else to do, I was hoping to try and go into recovery mode and completely reinstalling ChromeOS and all the drivers, in hopes that will fully restore things beyond what a power wash can do, however the escape key doesn't work, which I need for the key combination to go into recovery mode.

Not really sure what else to do here, if anyone has any suggestions or help, or has experienced such an issue with the Chromebook and was able to fix it do let me know. I had the thought of purchasing a replacement keyboard but they cost well over $100 which makes zero sense to purchase.

Any help is kindly appreciated,

Steve M.

What should I do when my Lenovo N23 won’t turn on? When you plug it in the little red light comes on like its charging. Then nothing happens when you push the power button.
