Thanks for this. I was able to follow the steps and start up the Chromebook successfully. However, now my keyboard and mouse pad aren't working. I tried going back and reinserting the ribbon connectors a couple of times without success. If I plug in a separate mouse and keyboard, they both work. Anything else I should try?
