How can I fix my bricked Chromebook?
Asked by

I recently used skimmer shims on my Chromebook and selected payload version (P). Now, my device is showing a strange troll message and won't turn on. I also used a legacy coral shim called skimer. What can I do to fix this?

Honestly, it might be a good lesson learned here. There's not much you can do to unbrick it on your own if the hard reset doesn’t work. Just be cautious with modifications next time—it’s easy to run into trouble with these devices!

It sounds like you've encountered a pretty common issue with Chromebook modding. Unfortunately, once a Chromebook is bricked, options can be limited. Have you tried doing a hard reset? Sometimes pressing the refresh button and the power button simultaneously can help. If that doesn’t work, you might need to look into recovery options using a USB stick with the recovery image for your model.
