I recently purchased a Chromebase 24v2 online. Upon the first login, I found that it requires a managed (enterprise) account and does not allow the use of a personal Google account. I followed some online instructions and pressed Ctrl + Alt + H, then selected “No”, which allowed me to log in with a personal account.
However, after performing a Powerwash, the Ctrl + Alt + H > No workaround no longer works, and I am unable to use the device anymore.
I now want to install Windows on this Chromebase 24v2. I have already disabled OS verification and enabled Developer Mode — the message “OS verification is OFF” displays correctly. I also installed a screw to disable Firmware Write Protection (FW WP).
But when the device boots up, I cannot access the terminal (VT-2) by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 — it simply does nothing, and I am currently stuck at this stage.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Thank you for your guidance! I think I may have done it incorrectly — I was trying it on the initial setup screen. I’ll try again tomorrow and let you know the results.
Once again, thank you so much! I really hope I’ll be able to successfully install Windows.
I’m sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for your thorough guidance. Yesterday, I changed to a different keyboard and was able to press Ctrl + Alt + F2 and successfully installed Windows 11. Today, I added funds to purchase the driver, but it’s been two hours and the balance still hasn’t appeared, so I’m unable to make the purchase. Could you please guide me on how to update the balance?
I have purchased and installed it, but I still can’t get any sound from the speakers of the Chromebase 24v2. Could you please guide me on how to set it up?
