HP Chromebook 11-v002dx Troubleshooting

My Chromebook's operating system is either missing or damaged.

If your Chromebook is crashing or freezing, first try turning it off and back on again. I that doesn’t work, close all your apps and browser windows. If the cause of your Chromebook’s crash or freeze is a specific tab in your browser, hard refresh the page: Ctrl + Shift + r. If your Chromebook still freezes after this, you uninstall any new apps or extensions you’ve recently added, reset your Chromebook, or, finally, recover your Chromebook.

Look for updates and install them.

To search for updates, look in the status area where your account picture appears for the Update icon, which looks like a white up arrow against a light gray square. This icon only appears when you have an update ready.

Your Chromebook needs to be recovered.

If your Chromebook is connected to mobile data, connect it to a Wi-fi network or Ethernet instead, then try downloading the update. If that doesn’t resolve the error, try turning your Chromebook off and back on again. After that, try resetting your Chromebook, or, finally, recovering your Chromebook.

Your laptop’s battery may be dead. Try plugging your charger into the computer. Be sure that both the plug and the adapter cable are both completely plugged in. If this proves to be unsuccessful try using a different charger. If the second charger works, your own charger is the issue, not the computer, and you will need to replace the charger. If neither charger works the battery may need to be replaced.

My camera/ keyboard/ touchscreen/ sound/ etc. doesn’t work.

First try turning your Chromebook off and back on again. If this doesn’t fix the camera, try using the camera in a different app, like Snapchat or Hangouts. If it works in that app, uninstall the app the camera doesn’t work in, then reinstall it. If the camera still has issues, then reset your Chromebook, or, lastly, recover it.

For keyboard issues, turn the Chromebook off and on again. If that doesn’t solve it, log into your Chromebook as a guest and check to see if the keys work. If they do, delete the account that’s having the problem on your Chromebook and add it again. If the account designated as the owner is having problems, reset the Chromebook.

Drumroll your fingers on the keypad for 10 seconds. Turn your Chromebook off and on again. Reset your Chromebook. Delete the account on your Chromebook that has touchpad issues, then re-add the account. Contact your Chromebook manufacturer if none of these steps work.
