Just an update - I managed to make a recovery USB using the chrome extension and simply typing in the series of letters and numbers that showed on the chrome screen. All went fine and I recovered the chrome OS then managed to get back into SeaBIOS and reloaded Linux lite.
So per the wiki article (setting SeaBIOS as default): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chr...by_default
I have decided to attempt this, setting SeaBIOS as default.
My main concern is that without doing this if I place this ex-chromebook with a youth and the battery drains or dies it will essentially be nonfunctional to the youth. There is no way the youth could go through the steps of recovering chrome OS and reloading LL.
So I will post a new thread as I am wondering per the steps above, if once it set the SeaBIOS to default IF I need to “re-enable the hardware write protection”, I’m not sure if this is best to re-enable or if it will cause problems if I don’t re-enable it..?
I will go about attempting this today and it “seems” that I can replace the hardware write protection screw at any time...
Any and all comments welcome!
