Hey,

Does anyone here have the slightest idea how to make a 2023 IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook (13", 6) laptop get into dev mode? I cannot find anything anywhere online about what to do to make the laptop a: go into recovery mode b: then go into dev mode. Please help! I bought this chromebook from my friend.

Thanks,

Jesse

Sincerely,

Jesse

Thanks but I did try Esc/Refresh + Power. It just loads the laptop sign-in page.

Hold down the Esc and Refresh keys down. Press the power button. Release the power button but keep pressing Esc + Refresh keys until you see a message on the screen then release the keys.

Enabling and Disabling Developer Mode wipes he Chromebook.

On some Chromebooks use the Maximize key instead of Refresh.
