 ===== Leave Chromebook Plugged In Overnight =====
+This tip is one I wouldn’t believe unless I’d tried it. It has surprisingly worked a few times. Connect your Chromebook power cord to a wall outlet and then plug the other end into your Chromebook. Now open the lid. If nothing happens, walk away.
+I have left Chromebooks sitting this way overnight figuring what did I have to lose. On more than one occasion, the next day I found the Chromebook on the logon screen.
 ===== Check If The LCD Display Screen Is Broken (Physically or electrically) =====
+If none of these tips work and you see a power light when you press the power button, you may have a broken screen. Some Chromebooks have an HDMI or micro HDMI port you can use to test with. Connect the Chromebook to a TV via an HDMI cable.
+New Chromebooks may only have USB-C ports. For those, you will need a USB-C to HDMI Adapter. These will be useful for connecting your Chromebook to a projector as well.
+For the purpose of the test, if you see an image on your TV screen, but do not see an image on the Chromebook, you
+may have a bad/broken LCD screen (likely) or a bad LCD cable (less likely.)
