@Bryanscar85, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your screen isn't working!

Try these steps:
Hard reset your Chromebook

- When your Chromebook starts up, release Refresh.
Tips:
- You can also press and hold Back + Refresh + Power for at least 10 seconds.
Test the PC functionality using an external display.

Let me know how it goes!
Take care, and have an amazing day!

@Bryanscar85, Thanks for getting back to us! I appreciate you trying the troubleshooting steps. Let's see if we can get this sorted out for you.
Since the hard reset didn’t resolve the issue, let’s dig a little deeper:
External Display Test – Have you tried connecting the Chromebook to an external monitor or TV using HDMI (if available)? If the external display works, the issue might be with the built-in screen rather than the graphics chip.
Backlight Check – When you turn on the Chromebook, do you notice a faint image on the screen if you shine a flashlight on it? This can help determine if the backlight has failed.
Physical Damage – Since this happened after school, do you notice any cracks, pressure marks, or signs of damage on the screen or hinges? A loose cable or impact damage could be a factor.
As for warranty coverage, that depends on your device’s purchase date and warranty status.
Let me know how it goes!
