It’s time for a powerwash! 🚿

It's time for a powerwash!

If your Chromebook is acting sluggish or not responding at all, it might be time for a powerwash! đźšż

The ability to quickly reset a Chromebook without loosing any information is an underrated feature of Chrome OS. 

I recently had an issue with the Camera on my Chromebook so I decided to give it a powerwash. 

In this episode of the Chromebook Classroom Podcast I’d like to walk you through some situation that warrant a powerwash and give you some tips to reset your device the right way.

      This is the first of your podcasts I listened to. What the heck is the “snowman”?

        Fair enough! That’s what I call the “three dot” menu that Google uses in Drive, Gmail, Classroom, etc.

        Snowman seems more descriptive than “three dots!”

        Thanks for listening! You are now officially a Chromie!
