Samsung Chromebook Series 3: Is it possible to replace the screen?

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 05:59:46 -0700

My chromebook screen is broken, it's got a massive black spot (1" across) and the screen is covered in random lines. I can only assume it took a hit but the case is undamaged. Any idea if it would be possible to replace, and if so where I could get the replacement screen?

Samsung Chromebook 2: How can I make the hinge for the Chromebook tighter?

Tue, 28 May 2024 04:27:03 -0700

The Chromebook's hinge is very loose and the screen keeps falling whenever set to an angle greater than around 100 degrees relative to the keyboard surface. Is there any way I can tighten the hinge to prevent this from happening?

Can RAM be upgraded in this Chromebook? The module listed in the specs is 2GB DDR3L RAM. This is readily available in 4GB and 8GB kits. The Chromebook gets sluggish over time and this would be a great help

Samsung Chromebook 2: How can I repair Broken display for this device?

Wed, 16 Sep 2015 09:35:16 -0700

Model #:XE503C32-K01US

Resolution: 1920 x 1080

I got Samsung Chromebook 2 from Amazon on 09/14/2014.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Chromebook...

I broke the screen, and all functionality except for screen is completely fine.

I've been looking everywhere to find how to fix it.

I'm okay with sending it to a repair place and get it fixed if it's under $100 or fixing it by myself if I had the replacement screen. However, it doesn't seem like replacement screen is not available on any website. laptopscreen.com has a search result, but it only says they don't have a stock. In short story, is there way to fix this?

Samsung Chromebook Pro: Black screen, led blue color

Sat, 21 Mar 2020 15:22:21 -0700

Hi! can anyone help how to fix this most common problem of the samsung chromebook pro? I dont have the warranty because I only got this as a gift.

I've searched and that this is a common problem with the samsung chromebook pro.

I was using my chromebook pro when suddenly the screen flickered and resets. After it booted and ask for the chrome os to be recovered. After I finished recovering the os using a USB, it went to logo screen and after a few minutes it died. It wont start up, I only see black screen and the led is blue. I can turn it off and charge the device and then the led will turn green. If I try to press the reset button and the power button, the led will turn white briefly then comes back to blue again. same as if I push the esc + reset + power button.

Hope someone can help to fix this. I have tried disconnecting the battery and pressed the power button for 1 min and still the same.

Samsung Chromebook 3: Motherboard is no longer powering up.

Tue, 27 Feb 2018 07:07:12 -0700

We have about 2k+ of this model. I am starting to see lots of them fail due to power failure at the charging post. I have fixed this by replacing the motherboard. I hope someone has a better fix for this. Like maybe a bad solder job. Have not been able to identify the problem other than replacing the motherboard. The device is now 18 months old and only had a 12 month warranty. Being a school district, people cringe when I ask them to spend money. Please Help.

Samsung Chromebook Pro: How to replace the hinges?

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 15:00:44 -0700

The tablet fell off a table and now the right hinge is not working right. I am unable to fold back the screen. I looked online and found replacement hinges and it look like it would be easy to get to the hinge connected to the keyboard end. Wondering how to get to the hinge connected to the display end. There is a section at the bottom of the screen half that looks like, if removed, would give access to the hinges. Anyone know the best way to remove that cover strip?

Here is a pic of what Im trying to get at. The strip that is right above the hinge and below the lcd screen.

Samsung Chromebook 2 XE503c12: Restoring/Resetting a school locked ChromeBook

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 08:53:02 -0700

I bought this ChromeBook off of eBay, and seeing a solved problem of just resetting the device through some a little taking apart magic and some terminal stuff that I know how to do (that I read here How can I reset a managed chrome book back to factory), and then being annoyed that this got patched in newer ChromeOS versions (that I read somewhere else online, not on iFixit), is there a modern working way to get this school enrolled/locked ChromeBook cleared for actual use?? And I know this thing is legit as that it came from a school that were getting rid of them and therefore the seller on eBay getting them and selling them, I have a charger for it, and it’s not enterprise enrolled. I’d really like to use this thing.

Every time I push back and pull forward my Chromebook screen, most of the previously black pixels turn green. It takes a lot of time to find the right angle where the image returns to normal. Is there a DIY way to fix this?
