AFter several hours of non use -- like overnight, while plugged in -- my chromebook will be locked up.  The screen will refresh but the cursor is not there and nothing responds until I turn it off and back on.

    Hi, 

    In such situations you may try drum roll for 4-5 times on your touchpad. If the issue still persist then you have to update your Chromebook. This issue happens due to bugs in operating system. 

    If for some reason the issue still persist then you may perform power wash.

    Congratulations Newbie! This method is a time-honored --- and probably a most successful --- fix for most  frozen computer issues! Perhaps you might be a natural-born computer guru and didn't know it. =)   Jack E/NJ
