Thank you so much for the great description. I thought my Chromebook was dead in the water but the troubleshooting guide and instructions for the lcd screen was just what I needed. Even before I could get the bezel off completely the screen came alive. From now on I will call my CB “Lazarus” since it has “risen” from the dead.
