C720 what do charging lights mean? And a strange question...

john_przybylski

Hello all, new to Chromebook. What do the two charging lights on the front of the device mean? One looks blue when it's on AC power but purple when it's on battery. The other looks amber. What do these mean?

 

Also, strange question, I had the Chromebook in sleep mode and forgot that I did, then turned it upside down to get the serial number. Can this damage the workings inside?

 

Thanks in advance.

Battery indicator Indicates the computer's battery status.

1. Charging: The light shows amber when the battery is charging.

2. Fully charged: The light shows blue when in AC mode.

 

you can put it upside even when working, you can't damage the hardware, since the only moving thing is the little fan inside.

If you look closely, the two lights have symbols. The light bulb symbol shows power status and shows blue when there is planty of power and amber when you are getting low. The battery symbol shows charging status, as Ironfly described.
