I powerwashed my Chromebook, but now I can’t set it up because it’s stuck on the “Connect to a network” screen. When I try to connect to my Wi-Fi, it shows that I’m connected, but then it says “Network not available, try another network.

Acer Spin 713: Is it safe to open it up to soak up the tea I spilled on it?

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 11:37:20 -0700

My Stanley leaked my black tea with Stevia INTO my Chromebook. I let it dry for a day, then let it charge.I got it to charge, turn on, and function, but there are a few keys that seem to press others at the same time. Obviously, this means there is either still water or a sticky path left. Can I safely open it to wipe it off? Or are there things I should particularly watch out for with these Chromebooks?

Acer Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-71NX: Need to restore computer to like new again

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 14:24:51 -0700

I have just received my Acer switch back after it had been stolen, sold then retrieved by authorities and returned back to me but there has been a new password and security set up on it which is unfortunately preventing me from getting into it. Apparently there is some sort of software installed onto it preventing any sort of reset. I was thinking maybe changing the hard drive or mother board or something will help ?? Would this restore computer to like new again

Acer Chromebook R11: How can I get a foreign object out of the headphone jack?

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 11:10:41 -0700

I tried plugging my headphones into the headphone jack in school, but it wasn't going in. I couldn't really see anything, so I tried using force (which was probably a dumb move). When that failed, I got my flashlight out and saw a tiny (nearly the size of the jack) clear ball jammed at the bottom. It's frustrating because I have no idea where it could've came from, and I've only had the Chromebook for about a month now. What should I do? Please help! :((

Have a nice day! :)

Acer Chromebook CB3-111-C670: Wifi is disabled and cannot be re-enabled

Mon, 12 May 2025 08:33:54 -0700

So recently my Chromebook was not connecting to any networks. When I went to look at the connections, it said that the Wi-Fi was turned off, and the button to turn it on was not present at all. Upon clicking on 'Settings', the Wi-Fi network was listed as 'Disabled', but when I went to click on it, it does not give any options to re-enable it. What's wrong with it?
