I introduced Linux Penguin to my chrome OS

Part of the process is to restart my Google pixel book. My chromebook will not start back up. What can I do to power up?

I tried, it won’t do anything at all

Customer Replay


Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift + r. Select Restart.


it has no power

Customer Replay


Is it charged?


I used the shortcut after clicking on the time. To shut it down.
it’s almost never unplugged

Customer Replay


Okay, can you turn it back on?

Not at all, that’s why I asked what to do
the power button isn’t doing anything at all. Am I supposed to hold the power button for a second or more?

Customer Replay


Yes, please hold it for 5secs


Okay.
nothing happened

Customer Replay


Try again, pressing for more seconds.


can I take out the battery and put it back in?

Customer Replay


Yes.

ok then, please hold on

Customer Replay


Sure.


I don’t have any access to the battery
I think I have just wasted my Chromebook

Customer Replay


I will do my best to help. Let us check if the battery is charging correctly by unplugging your Pixelbook from a power outlet, waiting 60 seconds, then plugging back in. (Usually, you'll see a light turn on.) If your Pixelbook is charging, let it charge for at least 30 minutes.


ok, give me a second

Customer Replay


Sure.


alright, I’ve plugged in the charger cord and the color of the light is white

Customer Replay


Now, try turning on the laptop.
Press the power button.


Including holding the button down, nothing is happening

Customer Replay


Is the laptop charging?
Do this > While pressing and holding the Refresh key button, tap the Power button.


the light is on and white, I can’t see any other proof the thing is charging

Customer Replay


Noted, do the above thing now.


Ok, what are you calling the refresh key?

Customer Replay


It looks like a round arrow.

Customer Replay


Does it work?

Customer Replay


Perfect.
I’m glad I was able to get that sorted out for you. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?


it’s asking me to sign in to my Chromebook

Customer Replay


Please do it.


No thank you. I was panicking a teensy bit

It is okay.
Is there anything else I can do for you today?
