Sometimes a Chromebook will not turn on using the power button even when you know it is charged.
After a few seconds you just might see that beautiful white screen with the Chrome logo on it. If no try performing a hard reset by pressing and holding the Refresh button then press the power button (On non-tablet models, it is on the keyboard. On tablet models, it is on the side of unit.)
Note: Chromebooks ship in a state that requires you to plug in the power cord to turn them on the first time. It’s possible for your Chromebook to re-enter this state.
