Lenovo 300e Chromebook 2nd Gen: How to unblock school Chromebook

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:25:52 -0700

I'm pretty sure a lot of people ask this and get the answer to basically reset the laptop, but I have to turn my Chromebook back into the school in two or three years, I just need a way to get around school blocks to access some sites (Mostly for school reasons) because just about every website is blocked. Is there any highly new-fashioned way that schools aren't aware of (yet) that I can use?

I have a number of chromebooks that I cannot use as the windows open on their own and options are selected without input from the user.

I have powerwash these devices but this has not fixed the issue. If I am able to log in I can try to disable the touch screen but this only works for a short time.

Lenovo Chromebook: Why is my chromebook not working #2?

Fri, 09 Oct 2020 12:27:52 -0700

Before my chromebook stopped working, It would sometimes just randomly go on a black screen and if you tapped it gently it would go out but then one day it just went on the black screen and you couldn’t use it. No matter what you can’t see anything on the screen, it’s just pure black and we can still see a bit of light coming out of it but everything is black and you can’t do anything on it. Also when we charge the chromebook, the battery color is red. I hope someone can help.

Lenovo Chromebook: Any ideas on how to remove small silica gel balls from headphone jack

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 12:08:58 -0700

So everyone recently got new chromebooks and protective pouches, but the pouches had silica gel packs which many didnt remove, so many are breaking open, and then the little beads inside are getting stuck in peoples headphone port.

I know iFixit sells the extractor tool, but I dont know if it would work in this case as its not a headphone jack, but a small round bead.

If anyone has any ideas on what to try, or if the tool would work, that would be great.

Also, one was taken apart, but there is no easy way to remove it from the inside.

Thanks!

Lenovo IP Flex 5 Chromebook 14IAU7: Lid hinge screw mounts have broken from plastic

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:31:43 -0700

This laptop has a lid that can rotate about 270 degrees, so you can use it sort of like a tablet. My son loved this function, but unfortunately the mounts for the left hinge didn't. After repeated strain the mounts for the screws holding the left hinge broke.

These are metal threaded mounts set in plastic. The plastic surrounding the metal threaded mount is intact, but it separated from the plastic attached to the lid. As a result the hinge just pulls away when you try to move the lid.

I've already tried using Gorilla Glue (like super glue) to glue the mounts back on, but the mounts just ripped away as soon as I tried to rotate the screen back into position. I think I need a stronger epoxy, perhaps, that will be a much stronger bond, but I'm not sure what I can get that is 1) strong enough and 2) safe to use in electronics.

From my research I think I can use Loctite 406, but I didn't know if anyone else had a better suggestion. Is there a way to avoid glueing the mounts altogether?

Lenovo N23 Chromebook: Broken LCD on Lenovo N23

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 13:10:47 -0700

Hello!

My N23 chromebook is cracked, so I have two questions:

1-somebody can show me where I could buy a new LCD screen? Just to avoid buying the wrong one.

2 - I have some experience in replacing LCD´s, but does somebody have experience precise with this model? It would be way faster with a guide :)

Thank you so much!
