Chromebook charging tip: Sometimes your chromebook is in a sleep mode and is not charging, even when plugged in. Check to see that the small red light beside the charger is lit when plugged in. If not, open and hold the refresh button and power button together, then release to reset the chromebook. Then, plug the unit in and the red light should appear indicating it is charging. You should always see the red light on either side near the back lit when charging.
