semi-permanently enable desktop mode on a Chromebook
So, your ChromeOS tablet won’t stay in desktop mode. Luckily, I found a (slightly janky) fix for when it is in a solitary position.
THE FIX
- Find an old wireless (or wired) mouse you no-longer use and are okay with hacking apart.
- Open the case (or just cover the light externally)
- Once opened, find the light/laser and cut it off (mine was already broken
) - Close the mouse back up (or don’t)
- Hide/place it somewhere nearby. Et Voilà! Your Chromebook is in Desktop mode
