I apparently meant mediahouse last night, not mediahome.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey. New board.
I had to look that up.
It's insanity. I don't even like swipe based typing (I use SwiftKey with the gesture typing turned off on Android) but lots of people do. And more importantly the apple keyboard is just awful. I can barely use my wife's iPhone.
There are plenty of equally awful Android keyboards too, and even the default Google one is pretty mediocre (though I would say it's better than iOS) but I do like having a choice.

Argh. Acer Outlet "does not have a technical support department to assist regarding the matter [of the Chromebook not turning on]." I "may try to reset the unit to the original manufacture setting and see if the system will reset back to normal."
I am at a complete loss. I don't know how to reset the unit, or what that could possibly accomplish when it doesn't even power up. I can't find anything that looks like battery access.
Does anyone have one of these that works? Acer C270

That's the next step, but I would be happier if I could get the damn thing to turn on.
The set up guide on the acer website includes the line "Your Chromebook may have a detached battery; insert the battery if necessary" so if it is that simple I would like to just do that. I can't find anything like a diagram showing where the battery might be or an in transit switch or anything

See if it will boot into recovery mode. Hold Escape and Refresh keys and hit the power button.

Thanks, ND. Nothing happens.

Would any Buffista developers care to share their excellent documentation with me? I'm trying to show one of our developers a sample of what we need (essentially, a technical document that would allow us to take our site's code to a new developer and/or host and have them install it without any trouble).
