This guide will show you how to physically disable the touchscreen on the Samsung Chromebook plus

This is not a normal thing to do to a chromebook. Please keep in mind that android app functionality may be degraded without touchscreen. This should only be done if your touchscreen is hypersensitive (like mine) and you can live without (certain) android apps.

This step is very easy, use a PHILIPS#0 to remove the 8 screws on the back panel (flip computer upside down). There are no screws under the feet.
-
-
-
In the top left corner (with the battery at the bottom) where the arrow is pointing, pull the cable out of the socket.
-
-
-
Remove the cable marked in this image by pulling on the pull tab. This will disable the s pen but will not physically remove it from the computer.
-
-
-
To re-insert the digitizer cable just push on it until it goes in. To re-insert the s pen cable, shove the end of the cable in until there is almost no space between the socket and the white line

-
Look at the red circle, do NOT put a screw there. One of the screws holding the back panel also fits in there.

NOTICE: YOU MUST RE-INSERT THE BACK COVER THIS WAY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PANEL FROM BULGING! Slide the cover into the back (hinge side first), make sure to slide in then push down on top to make sure cover is secured. Once secured, insert top middle screw first (red), then insert other top screws (orange), then the other screws (yellow).

-
-
Done! To re-insert cables, please go thru the steps again (skip steps 4 and 5) and refer to step 6 on re-inserting the cables. After that, complete the rest of the steps.
-
To reactivate touchscreen/s pen support, please follow the steps in order again, skipping 4 and 5, but including 6.

Interesting to see this teardown, great photos! Here’s a keyboard shortcut. Is there any way to turn off the touch screen feature for Chrome OS? https://productforums.google.com/forum/#...

Chromebook touchscreen (including pen input) can be disabled / toggled via keyboard shortcuts, the shortcuts are disabled by default and can be switched on with flags. Browse to chrome://flags/ search for Debugging keyboard shortcuts enable it and click Restart Now to restart.
Press shift + search + t to toggle touchscreen on/off
Also shift + search + p will toggle the touchpad on/off
Can you demonstrate how to to get to the hinges on the screen portion? Is the plastic piece under the screen just secured with double side adhesive or are there clips holding it in place? Thanks.

sorry for not getting back to you earlier, but I do not have possession of the chromebook anymore, and as such I do not know how

Thanks… I also discovered a way to do this in software… very annoying problem. Glad to have options to bypass the touchscreen
