I have a working Chromebook with a broken screen. Sure would be nice to put it to work! Loved that little machine when it was working, perfect for the kids and to take to client meetings (all day battery). It's now in storage, because paying to fix a screen on a $200-something computer doesn't make sense.
- nfriedly 6y agoWhen I end up with old hardware that I don't want to fix or re-purpose, I tend to put it on an ebay auction for $0.99 + shipping (or whatever), and hope that someone else can get some additional life out of it.
- josefresco 6y agoGood idea, although I'm not wild about selling a Chromebook I can't access but previously had signed into my Google accounts to some stranger.
- nfriedly 6y agoYeah, I suppose that's a reasonable concern in this case.
- toast0 6y agoCan you use an external display? Some chromebooks have hdmi out, and you might be able to use adapters for others?
- ufmace 6y agoYou should be able to de-authorize it from any working Google login on another device - the security page shows all of your other Google sessions, and you can kill any of them. It even nags you to kill ones that haven't been used in over a month or so. Seems to be even more effective than logging out on the device, though that's probably a good idea too if you can.
