Chromebook Acer C720: Problems Down the Road

Do you have an Acer C720 Chromebook and you love your laptop? Well let me tell you today, that laptop will break down the road, just like my chromebook did. How do you fix the almighty laptop? Simple. Don't ask Acer, or they will charge you 130$ if your chromebook is out of warranty. Well I am making this post, because my chromebook died, I asked Acer to diagnose my problem, and they couldn't, I asked Google and they barely could(which is fine, because they couldn't physically see the laptop). I then took it to a local computer repair store, and they told me the motherboard is fried. So, since my warranty was up, I decided to take a look inside! Guess what I found? There wasn't any thermal paste on the CPU, so I added some, and BOOM! My chromebook works like a charm now! So I am making this post, just so in case you run into the same problem as me, my laptop had a blue led light that stayed on when you pushed down the power button, and that's all it would do. (Don't remove the Acer sticker, nor open your laptop up, if you still have a warranty, just send your laptop in to get it repaired in that case.)
