How do I remove the touch screen on my Chromebook?

Published in Chromebook Touchscreen 1 min read

The terminology in your question can be misleading. It is generally not possible to physically remove the touchscreen from a Chromebook without potentially damaging the device. However, if your goal is to disable the touchscreen functionality, you can easily do that.

Disabling the Touchscreen on Your Chromebook

Instead of physically removing the touchscreen, you can disable it using a keyboard shortcut. This will prevent the screen from responding to touch input.

  • Keyboard Shortcut: Press Search+Shift+T to disable the touchscreen.

To re-enable the touchscreen, simply use the same keyboard shortcut again:

  • To Re-enable: Press Search+Shift+T.

This toggles the touchscreen functionality on and off.
