Chromebook Won't Turn On

[rvs053063]

I have a Toshiba Chromebook 2. When I close the screen it refuses to turn back on. When I hold down the ESC + REFRESH + POWER ON it turns on to the exclamation point screen. Then I power it down and press the power button again and it turns on fine. Everything works normally until I close the screen. After I close the screen it no long turns back on and I have to go through it all again. Any suggestions as to a fix? Thanks, Rick

Edit: Since I posted I tried powering the Chromebook down, closing the screen, then opening the screen and it worked fine. Now when I close the screen and open it back up it works fine. Any thoughts on what caused this hiccup and how to prevent it going forward would be appreciated.

Sounds like something was probably still using up resources in the background and interfering with the normal 'sleep' option. Once you turned off the laptop and then turned it back on, the issue was removed.
