Allstate is hit or miss on how easy their warranty repair/replacement is.

Still happy with the purchase.
I tried several NVMe drives and one SATA and non worked.
There is a diagnostic built in to test storage, and it did not see the NVME drive. So, perhaps use of other than EMMc drives is crippled in bios.
I do not think there is a way to view or adjust bios on Chromebooks.
Color when you hit Alt + F6 or 7 a palette shows next to the KB brightness scale, click on that.
Still happy with the purchase.

Oh wait I see groch tried sata, guess someone has to ask lenovo
Are there snaps along with the screws when removing the back?

I am running into an issue with Brave Browser installed in Chromes Penguin Linux. It freezes when I try to add any extension and is generally unstable. I am still trying to figure that out.
I am getting "Error recovering your device" when using an external USB recovery image that was made on this chromebook.
When I try "Internet Recovery", which theoretically should work on new Chromebooks, I get that the recovery partition is missing. I figured that would be in some chip, not the SSD.
Anyone know what could be the issue. I have tried a couple of different compatible M.2 NVME SSDs with the same error.
Side Note: it is in great condition, looks new.

This is a specific post relating to the SKU's for drives that *SHOULD* be compatible:

I have not seen any confirmation yet that any of the NVMe drives have worked.
Update: This thread linked in your 1st thread [reddit.com] shows a way to do it involving using a separate linux laptop and making a SuzyQ debug cable. The guy who did it says the difference is not particularly noticeable in normal use.
I own and tried the 512GB version of the Lenovo SAMSUNG PM9B1 256G 2242 PCIe G4V x4 recommended in this link as compatible. It did not work.

Add: I was having stability problems with Brave Browser Linux. Switching to the Brave Beta release rather than Stable solved the issues.

It's fast enough stock for productivity.
Is there a good way to make it into an easy to use jukebox for music off the SD card?
My battery only has one cycle to boot.

I hearted the device. Do you know if it regularly goes in stock or how I can get notified of when it does go into stock?
I had a 512GB 1042 Samsung and it worked fine.
The instructions were not exactly right on mine, I did not have Sudo access using Crosh so had to use the VT-2 shell as discussed here [superuser.com].
It took me 4 tries to "Open the CCD". This is not for the faint of heart. But if possible bricking does not scare you and you have some LInux experience it does work.
It feels like the speed has increased a good bit. I'm not sure because it was quite quick anyway.

My question now is there a way to return everything that was changed to disable write protection back to the way it was before? I have tried to search for this but I honestly can't find much of anything.
