Hello - I am looking for some help.....I took all the steps for the ChromeBox Kodi E-Z install....but screwed up on the last step when I managed to select internal HD as the USB for installation of Libreelec instead of the attached USB stick which had the image on it (menu screen was not all within my TV screen so I couldn't really see the numbers presented as options)......so it was just stuck on "installing from harddrive" -- I then powered off the device hoping I would be prompted with the boot menu again.....but I get nothing...just a black screen. Is there anyway to get back to the boot menu again or do I need to figure how to re-install the Chrome OS from the backup I made to a USB stick (as part of the process).....any help /guidance will be much appreciated!!

Firstly, my condolences - being from the Philly area originally I know your pain all too well.

Normally, you will see the SeaBIOS boot menu prompt when powering on with a USB inserted. Some TVs don't change/set the output mode quickly enough however, leaving you with a blank screen. It's odd that it showed the first time, but not afterwards. Easiest thing is probably to finish the setup connected to a computer monitor that won't have any issues. Or, you can try blindly booting my pressing ESC a half dozen times over the first few seconds after power on, then hit 2 (once) to boot the USB. Definite no need to go back to ChromeOS or anything like that - just need to install LirbeELEC from USB. Sometimes USB sticks can be problematic about being detected, so you might try creating another one using the LibreELEC USB/SD creator tool, which is linked from the Chromebox wiki page (and from the LibreELEC home page)

I just wanted to add that I had this exact same problem last night updating a brand new ASUS M400U. After the standalone firmware install and reboot, the screen just went blank no matter what I did. I tried for over an hour with different variations of usb sticks, sd cards and different linux boot images until I finally found this post above...!! thanks for the help! Not sure why the display was not showing at the time, as I was using a relatively standard monitor. I was using the DisplayPort adapter versus the HDMI, but I dont know if that would have impact...
