Cracked screen making it hard to use.

I have a pretty big crack in my screen....no dead pixels, but it's making the touch screen go crazy. I can hardly use the chromebook even in laptop mode because the screen will flicker and open random things as if someone is going crazy on the touchscreen.

I looked into ordering the screen repair kit but found it was almost as expensive as a new chromebook. So my question is, is there a way I can just disable the touchscreen function? I don't mind only using it in laptop mode.

Thank you

steph fxe this should work for you

First go here: chrome://flags/#ash-debug-shortcuts and enable the flag, then click RESTART NOW at the bottom of that page.

Once that's done, you have two new keyboard shortcut toggles available to you -

Toggle touch screen on/off: --> Search+Shift+T Toggle touchpad on/off: --> Search+Shift+P

WARNING - use of this feature may cause unwary users to think their touchpad or touchscreen is defective. There are no status indicators to tell you that you have turned the touch device off!

Thank you so much! Same problem, thought I would have to buy a whole new computer since repairs are hardly a different price.

Mine is a chrome pixelbook and just a tiny crack in the bottom left of the screen but caused massive glitching. Again, tysm!!
