When repairing a chromebook or assessing it for damage, please follow the following procedures when either determining if a chromebook needs repairs or to check that the chromebook is fully functioning after it has been repaired:

This is usually space or enter. If requested, hit Enter to confirm.

The chromebook will reboot a few times and will eventually will come back to the setup screen. Connect the chromebook to PISD-Public when prompted for a network, and continue setup. The chromebook should come up to an enterprise enrollment screen. If it loads to a normal google login screen, hit CTRL-ALT-E to load enterprise enrollment. Log in with your district email and continue the setup. Once the Chromebook is at the log in screen, log in and continue the steps below.
