Acer Chromebook Spin 15 CP315-1H-P1K8 Troubleshooting

The device is powered on but the display is not projecting output.

First and foremost, a manual restart is a good starting place.

If the restart does not clear up the issue, then consider it maybe one of the two following issues.

1. If there is no response from the display this could mean that there is a faulty connection with your computer’s screen cable connector.
2. No display could also mean that the screen is broken and needs to be replaced.

 Both these issues can be found in this same guide.

The device shuts down without any input from the user.

If the computer is experiencing an input that is not caused by the user then a defective display could be the issue.

• Right-click on the Windows icon, go on Device Manager, go on to Human Interface Devices, right-click on HID-Compliant touch screen. This will disable the functionality of the touchscreen now you could use this as the solution but this will indicate if it is the display if the problem doesn’t persist.

If this proceeds to continue, then it could be due to a software issue so make sure that your device is running the latest software update.

The device is powered on but the touchpad is not receiving input from the user.

The most common problem that could result in the touchpad being not responsive or having no functionality, is that the touchpad needs to be replaced.

• Before considering replacing the touchpad, check and make sure the mouse functionality is enabled in the settings. Go to the Start menu and type in “Mouse”. This will bring up the ability to change the settings, including enabling and disabling scrolling. Check there first in the settings to see if it is an issue with the settings.

If the touchpad does indeed need to be replaced, this guide can help with that.

The device is fully powered on but there is no audio input being received.

If the microphone has little to no response, it could be because of the audio settings.

• If one opens the Start menu in the bottom left corner, and types in “microphone” in the search bar, the audio settings for the Chromebook should be apart of the search results. Here, the user can see if the microphone is functioning by adjusting the input volume and other settings to see if there are improvements.

If there are no improvements to the input volume, then the issue is most likely a hardware issue, where this guide can help resolve this.

The device is powered on but the battery life doesn’t last or hold a charge.
