Unusual Keyboard Behavior
If the keyboard is set to "US international keyboard" or another international keyboard, some keys like the apostrophe key may type unexpected characters for users who normally use the "US keyboard".
- Just change the keyboard to "US keyboard". You don't even have to log in to the Chromebook to do this because keyboard setting are one of the settings that appears in the Chromebook's bottom right menu.
Screen Zoom Issues
This is mostly two issues:
- The screen resolution setting set to zoom
- Press ctrl+shift+0 to reset
- Accessibility magnifier left on
- Find the accessibility icon on the lower right hand user account/settings menu
- Scroll through till you find the magnifier setting and disable it
Screen stays black and the device is unresponsive
- Plug the laptop into the charger and do a hard reset by holding down the power button for 20 seconds
- If the device still doesn't work, bring it back to Borrowing and Information Desk staff for additional troubleshooting
