Hello. Thank you in advance for having this page available.
My C3300 has a dark screen when initially turned on. It continues for over a minute as such. This is followed by a bright white screen with the color wheel and word CHROME. It lasts 1-2 seconds. Progressing to the long duration of a white screen with the chrome color-wheel again in a smaller format along with the words YOUR SYSTEM IS REPAIRING ITSELF. PLEASE WAIT.
I’ve had patience many times as I’ve turned the system off after several hours of the nothing-happens loop. The white screen showing …REPAIRING… comes on for a couple minutes then goes black, then loops as mentioned.
Oh, there’s a grey spiny-thing that keeps me entertained on the white screen. LOL
Again, thanks in advance if you read this and have an answer. Fred, Grand Ledge, MI.

One more comment… The above happens both plugged into power source and on it’s own battery. I’ve tried cleaning the keyboard as well. If there were a pin-hole I’da pushed it by now. Again, my thanks in advance if anyone’s out there and hits me up through email.

LOADING CHROMEBOOK OS RECOVERY - THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE APPEARS AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES “AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURED. PLEASE REFER TO THIS URL FOR TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS: https://www.google.com/chromeos/recovery
The URL is quite general and not much use when it comes to issues recovering ChromeOS- points you to go to the chromebook manufacturer for assistance, and the Toshiba page doesn’t seem to have ANY Chromebook assistance or even acknowledge they exist beyond recognizing the model. It has a drop down menu “choose operating system” and there is but one system - Windows 10 - not Google ChromeOS
Any advice for recovering this chromebook?
