Do you think this would fix a black screen issue? I have tried all other options to fix it. I have a external monitor attached and it works great. I think it may be the back screen needs replacing . My chromebook is ASUS Chromebook Flip C536.

[@selmateacher7]

You may try it. I will fix it, if the issue was software related. But if the screen is bad or has other physical issues, then it will not fix that.

Hi does it also remove the chromebook owner (school)

[@selmateacher7]

If the Chromebook was a private party owned unit, yes. But a school Chromebook has it's serial numbers saved in a special database at Google, so even after installing the Chrome OS, as soon as that unit gets on the Internet, Google will put those same restrictions on it. The school needs to remove it from their database or "catalog" for it to be free from their ownership.

That is the correct. The Chromebook is is "reset" Reset means to loose all data.

[@selmateacher7]

Please Restart the Computer
Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can resolve the issue. Hold down the power button until the computer turns off, then turn it back on to see if it boots up normally.
2. Exit Developer Mode
If your computer was in Developer Mode, pressing Ctrl + D should bypass the recovery screen. However, if that’s not working, you might be able to exit Developer Mode by performing a hard reset:
Hold down the Esc + Refresh keys (circular arrow) together and press the power button.
When the computer restarts, you should be able to press Ctrl + D again to see if it resolves the issue.
