I'm new to Chromebooks and just bought a broken C720 to play with. It has no screen or 16GB card and I had hoped to start using the HDMI output as monitor and a USB/CD to load the Bodhi iso either as a lovecd or onto a USB2 thumbdrive before I spend any more money on replacement screens/storage etc.
So far the machine charges and lights a second blue light and tests the CD drive when I press the power button but no hdmi activity so I can't progress.
Question is - should I expect a HDMI output in this situation or I have I likely got a motherboard or bios issue. Clearly I could just buy a screen but there is the good money after bad issue...
thanks,
Steve
