Blinking Amber Indicator

This week we performed more basic tasks including replacing ink cartridges in printers and repairing broken Chromebooks. On multiple days, we replaced ink cartridges in faculty rooms, the media center, and guidance offices. A lingering problem Mr. Gbaguidi has noticed throughout the year is the overuse of printing as faculty members quickly use up the school's ink supply. While repairing Chromebooks this week, we encountered one with an unusual problem. When Chromebooks fail to turn on, we usually don't struggle when fixing it. All we have to do is reset the battery cable and plug it in. However, this easy fix didn't work for s this time. After troubleshooting, we noticed that the LED indicator on the side of the Chromebook was flashing amber. This means there was an actual battery problem that we could not fix ourselves with the resources in Mr. Gbaguidi's office. The next day we sent out the Chromebook with flashing amber LED indicator along with other faulty Chromebooks to the Dell Repair Depot.
