Chromebook 3110 2-in-1 Service Manual

Preparing the Chromebook for long-term storage

Prerequisites

Update your Chromebook to the latest version of the ChromeOS and charge so that the battery is at least 80% full. This ensures that even when the battery discharges while unplugged over the summer, power is not fully depleted.
In order to slow the discharge rate during storage, use the same process that the factory uses before they ship devices.
NOTE:DO NOT physically remove the battery from the Chromebook for storage, but instead perform the following steps:

Steps

  1. Connect the device to the power adapter and power on.
  2. With the power adapter connected to the device, put the device in Battery cut-off mode.
  3. Press and hold the Refresh + Power keys simultaneously at least for 3 seconds.
  4. While holding these keys, remove the power cable from the device, and then release the keys.
    The device should shut down and remain off.
  5. Attempt to power the unit on using the power button.
  6. If the computer does not power on, you have completed the steps and can safely store the computer.
  7. If the unit powers on, repeat steps 1 to 5.
  8. Store it in a cool, dry place at 250C (78 0F).
    This is the ideal way to store devices, as it reduces battery discharge to a minimal rate. It prevents constant charge or discharge from reducing the battery life and keeps the Chromebook in a stable, powered-off state.
    NOTE: If you cannot put your Chromebook into the battery disconnect state as described above, charge the battery to at least 80%, turn off the Chromebook, unplug it from a power source, and store it in a cool, dry place.
    NOTE: If combo keys do not work with your model, charging with a higher socket level is the only alternative from Google.
