Chosen Solution
I had some Chrome OS defective notices pop up all of a sudden. It required me to use the Chrome OS recovery utility to create a USB Recovery drive to re-install the OS. It worked, and things went back to normal…for a little while. Then the Chrome OS defective issue popped up and got fixed several more times, until finally…the screen would stay blank when the Chromebook was powered on. I could still hear the fan running, and see all the usual lights, like power on indicator light, etc.
Ultimately, purchasing a new 16GB SSD for $17 on ebay solved the problem and now the machine is running perfectly! I didn’t use the exact same brand that was in there, because this other one was the cheapest. Here’s the title of the ebay posting I purchased the part from: 16GB SSD Hard Drive LSS-16L6G-HP 735314-001 HP 14-Q010NR Genuine (A01) In the computer the part is mounted on the motherboard and underneath the motherboard, as you’ll see when following one of the already available guides.
