TECH TROUBLESHOOTING


Before calling to report problems with your Chromebook, make sure you have tried these troubleshooting tricks: 

Three Steps for Troubleshooting Many Device Problems

Step 1 - Clear Cookies and Cache. It's amazing how many times this fixes all sorts of problems. Use the 3 dots in Chrome & choose History (CTRL + H is the shortcut; CMD + Y on a Mac). Select Clear Browsing Data. Change the Time Range to "All Time". Select "Cookies..." and "Cached Images..." Select Clear Data

Step 2 - Completely power down your device (push and hold the power button (on the side of newer Chromebooks) for 30+ seconds (not just until the screen turns black). Wait 30 more seconds. Power the device back on.

Step 3 - Clean up Extensions, & Search Engines. Extensions are one of the most common causes of Chromebook issues (especially Grammarly). Toggle off or delete any extensions you are not using.

 Problems Connecting to Zoom?                   
 Zoom If you are asked for a Meeting passcode in Zoom, look in Schoology/Google Classroom to see if you teacher has that passcode posted (it's often right under the Zoom link). If not, clear your cookies/cache (instructions). Then click the Zoom link again from Schoology or Google Classroom. If you are still asked for a passcode, clear your cache a second time and double-check that you set the Time Range to All Time.

Then restart your computer. Don't just log off--choose Shutdown or Restart. Then login, go to Schoology/Classroom & try the link again. The second cache clear combined with a restart often works. If you still can't connect, call the school at 303-982-5829.
