I have an ASUS Chromebox and I need to put it into developer mode so that I can...develop on it. However, I can't seem to get into Recovery Mode so that I can reboot it in developer mode. I followed the instructions to put it in Recovery Mode as documented and the Chromebox appears to turn on, but nothing happens on the monitor. How do I fix this?

The ASUS Chromebox in Recovery Mode does not support all monitors. If your Chromebox appears to have booted in recovery mode (lights are on) but the screen is blank, try booting it with a different monitor. Once it has restarted in developer mode, you can plug it back into the first monitor and it will work again.
