I am not receiving the performance that I had expected. Videos and games look like they are sputtering during play. I cannot open more than a few tabs before the Chromebook comes to a crawl.

With no other indications the screen has stopped working completely, and it just showing black. Is it possible to replace the screen myself? If so, what part do I need to order and how do I open this guy to get in there and make that replacement?

Acer Chromebook C720: Upgrade screen to the i3 version of the C720?

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 04:31:05 -0700

I love this cheap (albeit plasticky) computer. It's zippy, lightweight and has a killer keyboard. The only thing I absolutely abhor is the crappy screen. Does anyone know how I can upgrade the display on this cheap fireball of an ultrabook?

Acer Chromebook C720: Why won't my battery recharge?

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 15:47:28 -0700

My charger stopped recharging my acer c720 laptop. I got a replacement power cord but it won't charge. If I unplug it the system goes blank. As long as it is plugged in, the computer it works. I can't get into the back of it to see the internal battery. There was a puff of smoke from the back and that was it.

Acer Chromebook C720: Spilt water on keyboard, battery not working

Wed, 02 Oct 2019 13:50:26 -0700

I spilt water on my Acer C720p Chromebook recently (the c720p is the same as the c720 but with a touch screen) and everything works fine, except for the battery.

Initially the keyboard didn't work properly, some keys would press the ones next to them at the same time but this stopped after the computer dried properly.

But the problem is that now my Chromebook only works when it's plugged in and (at least according to the Chromebook) the battery never rises above a 1% charge.

I've tried reseting it, both by turning off developer mode and also with a powerwash option in the settings but no luck so far.

I've seen a couple of pretty good videos on replacing the battery on YouTube but I've heard from some tech friends that it could be caused by damage to the motherboard so that it doesn't recognise the battery rather than the battery itself. Any ideas?

Cheers! (:

Acer Chromebook C720: Why does my Chromebook keep flashing to a very dim lit screen?

Tue, 14 May 2019 18:46:42 -0700

So I was watching YouTube and then my chromebook flashed to a very dim lit screen (you could kind of make something out if you held it up to light). It kept doing this over and over again. I tried turning it off and on again but it even did it on the log in screen. How can I fix this and what is wrong with it??

Acer Chromebook C720: Wi-fi won't turn on on my Acer Chromebook

Thu, 05 Sep 2019 15:45:15 -0700

I have two Acer Chromebooks. A C720 and an Acer R11. Both developed an issue where the Wi-fi will not turn on. Both are out of warranty. I do not think it is a software issue.

The 720 will not accept any resets “An unexpected error has occurred . . .”

The R11 worked up until last week, but has developed this same problem with the Wi-Fi. Otherwise it was working just fine. There were no other issues and I’ve not tried to do a factory reset yet on the R11.

Any suggestions?
