Chromebook Functionality Check

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:

 

1. Verify Login

Try to log in to the chromebook. If it takes more than 30 seconds to log in, the chromebook needs to be wiped. Please follow directions on wiping data from chromebooks to factory restore the device.

2. Verify Keyboard

Open Google docs and type the following sentence. If any keys do not work or stick, the chromebook keyboard will need to be replaced:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy brown dog. Why? Well, because he wants to!"

3. Verify Speakers

4. Verify Speakers/Microphone

5.In chrome, open mictests.com

Use the 'test my mic' button to make a recording and play the recording back. You will need to allow access when asked in Chrome. Please verify that you can hear the recording properly. If not, the mic or speakers may be faulty.

6. Verify Webcam

In chrome, open webcamtests.com

Once your webcam is loaded, click the 'Test my cam' button. You will need to allow access when asked in Chrome. Please verify that you can see the webcam properly. If not, the webcam may be faulty.
