This is a Google Pixelbook (i5, 8 GB RAM, 128GB) bought in 2018 and out of warranty.
Last Sunday, after a software update, pixelbook rebooted andafter a while the screen turned black and since then I haven’t been able to boot it up.
When I plug the charger, led is solid green. But if I try a boot, a hard reset, or anythin else, nothing happens (except at the led level there is some activity)
I have a case opened at google support but because this is out of warranty, agent was pessimistic that they can do anything.
Here it what I have already tested:
* standard boot but pushing power button: nothing
* hardware reset - Holding refresh and pressing power
* recovery mode - Holding Refresh and Escape and pressing power
* another one - Connect the charger to the Chrome OS device. Hold the side power button + Refresh key and remove the power adapter as they keep holding on those buttons. Wait for 1 minute. Press the side power button to test the device. Connect the power adapter and monitor the LED color. Device should try to turn on and LED should blink or have solid color.
Nothing has helped so I guess there is an hardware issue. Do you think it could be the motherboard to be replaced ? I am tempted to try to follow - Google Pixelbook Motherboard Replacement
