"My Chromebook is damaged - is it even worth repairing?"

Many consumers' first thought about repairing a Chromebook is that it is relatively inexpensive to buy in the first place, should I just get a new one?   Although it is true that Chromebooks are less expensive than conventional laptops there are still many economical repairs that can be done.  The general guideline is that if the repair is less than 65% of the cost of buying a new one it is well worth it.   

For example if you bought your Chromebook for $399 and have broken the screen, your options are, really, to buy the same or equivalent model again at full price, or to replace the screen.  A typical screen replacement price for a Chromebook model costing $399 brand new would be ~$179 -- 45% of the full cost of buying a new one (less than half!).

All laptops and netbooks including Chromebooks are vulnerable to power jack wear and tear and may eventually break physically or even fail electronically.  

The TechKnow Space can repair or replace your Chromebook power jack expertly and reliably - keeping it charging and ready for mobile use.

Like laptops the Chromebook screen is connected to the keyboard by hinges.

Over time opening and closing lid (cycling the hinges) can wear down the hinge itself until it loses stiffness and begins to swing freely or even break apart. 

Even more often the stress on the plastic components in the lid and the bottom portion of Chromebook can cause the hinge to separate from the plastic cover and the plastic breaks - even though the hinge itself is in good condition. In this case an engineered bolt-through method can be used to reattach the hinge(s) to the plastic as an alternative to replacing the plastic pieces (which are often not worth the cost).

Designed for use primarily online - Chromebooks offer a lower cost alternatve to laptops.  If you're computing uses are mostly internet based (sending and receiving email & web browising for example) a Chromebook may be exactly what you need.   Instead of running Windows or MacOS as an operating system Chromebooks come with Google Chrome OS which is optimized for online use and manipulating documents stored in the cloud (like on Microsoft Onedrive or Google Drive).

Brands manufacturing Chromebooks include:

• Google

The scaled-down specifications common to Chromebooks allow for longer battery life, lighter weight, smaller physical size and overall convenience of mobile use as well as (of course) lower cost.
