Hello, for some reasons my acer chromebook keeps turning off and on, thought it was the battery, plugged in the charger it still did the same thing.
I went on youtube, saw a video with similar problem, his solutions were:
Tightening the screws.
Did that worked for some weeks then it started again.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

After 3 months, I later discovered what was making it to turn off and on.
I realised it was the keyboard.
HOW?
I unscrewed the back, disconnected the track pad, it was still turning OFF and ON.
I connected the track pad back and disconnected the keyboard, that's when it stopped turning OFF and ON.
I already ordered a new keyboard but for now I am using an external keyboard till the new replacement arrives.

Seems like a power button issue that is being pressed at random. It is probably the chassis (did you ever drop it) pushing up against it, by tightening the screws it probably helped a bit by relieving the pressure on the power button. Can you check to see how the power button is (and if its damaged at all).

No, I didn't drop it anywhere and my power button is okay. I have solved it, I want drop the answer now.
Sorry, you were kinda right.

@maxwellimoh tighten what screws :-) ?

@oldturkey03 All and any screw you see in and out of the chromebook.

@maxwellimoh that sounds like an interesting fix ;-) Tell us how it "keeps turning off and on" exactly. What does it do? What does your Power LED show?
von oldturkey03
@oldturkey03 Whenever I turn it on, sometimes before I type in my password or even begin anything it turns off.
After it turns off, if I close the lead, few seconds or minutes later it turns back on, then later it turns back off.
My Power Led: At first I thought it was the battery but when I plugged in my charger it was charging normal.
But if I turn it ON even with the charger plugged in, it does the same it.
N.B this occured for complete two weeks untill I decided to disconnect the battery.
I JUST REMEMBERED:
I powerwashed my chromebook more than two times because of the issue.

@maxwellimoh for now I am not quite convinced that this is a power off situation. Start it up and try to run it through the startup. Once it turns off, darken the room and get a flashlight. Now shine the flashlight at an angle against the screen. See if you can still make out the desktop etc.
