Hi @dislorth,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I see that you are facing an issue with your Chromebook that is not powering on.

The time it takes to perform a system recovery on an HP Chromebook can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the recovery image, the speed of your internet connection (if downloading), and the performance of your device. Generally, a recovery process should take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.

However, If it takes more than few hours. Try to perform a recovery again.

Hi @Irwin6

Do you know where can I download 3 diferent images of Chrome OS for my HP Chromebook 14 q000-q099 / HP Chromebook 14-SMB Atheros - FALCO C2A-Y3A-D9X ?

The one I have is not working in my device, I always get "An unexpected error occurred" during recovery... so I want to try with other Chrome OS images for my device but I don't know where to find them.

Could you please help me with it?

Hi @dislorth,

To download Chrome OS images for your HP Chromebook 14, you have a couple of options:

Official Recovery Image:

• Go to the Chromebook Recovery Utility.
• You can create a recovery USB drive with the latest version of Chrome OS.

Neverware CloudReady:

• If you're looking for a different experience, consider Neverware CloudReady. It’s based on Chromium OS and can run on older hardware.

Chromium OS Builds:

• You can find unofficial Chromium OS builds on sites like Arnold the Bat's Chromium OS builds for various versions.

Make sure to check compatibility and follow the installation instructions carefully!
