Dell Chromebook 11 CB1C13: My chromebook makes constant whirring noise.

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 19:09:40 -0700

There is a constant whirring noise coming from the left side of my Chromebook. I thought it may be the fan, but it doesn’t go away even when it has good airflow. Can it be a virus? I noticed other weird things happening, also. Such as the same notification popping up often and 404 Error messages when I type in a Google search

Dell Chromebook 11 CB1C13: rear cover of the keyboard bent on left rear corner

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 19:09:53 -0700

I lent this laptop to a family member (the fans were loud before but they went on and off every five minutes then and now its constant lol) and when they gave it back the back corner was very flimsy and the entire left side of the rear casing of the keyboard is sort of cracked open, but the computer works still works fine and i have no idea how this happened as it was given back to me in this condition. I have unscrewed and re-screwed the screw on the back on, but it didn't help. does anyone have at least a guess on what is wrong?

(don't mind the crappy camera quality as my iphone 7 is broken and had to use a different device as i refuse to submit to apple trying to force people to get new iphones every year lol)

also i think it may be a pin inside knocked loose or a dent that the casing overcame but the side casing might have not and caused this pushing out of the back casing, or the battery is swelling .-.

edit i have removed the rear casing and something is wrong with the hinge in this photo .-.

when i first unscrewed it the hinge popped out aggressively before i got to pull the cover off lol

@oldturkey03 I FOUND OURT WHATS WRONG YAYYYYY

a screw holding the hinge is loose .-.

the thing holding the screw isn't connected to the computer and where it should be is a hole straight to the bottom of the keyboard .-.

note: it only bends while its closed and closing becuase the loose screw is pushing as it does not want to close

also the fans are not loud anymore after putting case back on?????? weird lol

also when i first put the case on, the flash for the camera was on until i powered it down, does anyone know what was that about????????

Dell Chromebook 11 CB1C13: Battery will not charge

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 12:26:56 -0700

Battery will not charge. Seems a common problem of fairly new Dell E11 chromebooks.

None of the hard reset and reseat battery solutions will work. Neither leave it charge for 24 hours.

Charger remains cold even on hot day and charging light right side chrome book a flashes blue split second when inserting ac adapter/charger.

Dell Chromebook 11 CB1C13: Is it feasible to replace the headphone jack?

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 13:55:26 -0700

Do you think it would be feasible to replace the headphone jack in this device? Is it soldered down or otherwise permanently fixed in place, or would it be possible to remove it without risking damaging other parts?

Thanks.
