What's going on?
This "ghost touches" issue is happening on many Asus Chromebooks, the model distributed during the 2025-2026 school year. It is triggered by putting the Chromebook to sleep (usually by closing it).
How do I fix it?
Restart the Chromebook. One way to do this is by holding the refresh key while pressing the power button briefly. The power button is the second button from the front on the right side of the Chromebook. See diagrams in the Asus Chromebook tip sheet.
When will it be fixed permanently?
We expect a firmware update from Asus in May 2026.
Please check with your LST, the lost and found, and your teachers. If you still cannot find it, stop by the I.T. office so we can lock your Chromebook and issue a temporary replacement.
Please report stolen Chromebooks to I.T. immediately.

Can the school ban a website or app? Can parents/guardians?
Yes, District 128 staff have the ability to block websites & applications from running on school-owned devices during the school day. More information about district internet filtering can be found in the “Internet Filtering” section of the student handbook.
For blocking websites on Chromebooks at home, parents and guardians can use the Securly Parent Portal.
