Nothing displayed on the Chromebit , what should I do to improve?
1. First make sure you connected the AC adapter of display correctly (the power connection
should 'snap in' securely and cannot be unplugged with one hand when connected properly)
and you are getting power to all your devices. Confirm whether the other connections are good
too.
2. If you connect Chromebit to a TV, choose "TV inputs" in Input Select from OSD menu on
display. In addition, you can confirm that you are able to get HDMI input on display device
working with a different system.
3. We also suggest you try to test Chromebit with other displays that support 1920x1080
resolution if possible.
If the display with 1920x1080 resolution works while other displays with lower resolutions do
not, please try to update the Chrome OS version before your next test.
Is there any way to prevent the Chromebit from Going to Sleep?

Under some situation such as educational setting , it may be desirable to keep the display ON
after a period of no using, so is it possible to prevent the Chromebit from going to sleep after 8
minutes?
As of March 2016, this appears to be a limitation with the Chrome OS which can occur on other
Chrome OS products too.
If necessary, we can suggest some third party apps to customers such as 'Keep Awake' , the
app they may want to look into more on their own .
What is the suitable environment for using Chromebit?
Please don't use your Chromebit in the outdoor or tough environment if possible.
How to check the Chromebit Chrome OS version?

into your Chromebit. Peel off the other side of the coverings of the hook and loop sticker set,

measure a place for sticking to avoid the situation that the length of extension cable is less
than the distance between your Chromebit and monitor after you fixed the Chromebit.
