So my trusty old HP Chromebook 11-1101 (the slim cheap blue and white Chromebook pictured below) turned it's self off due to low battery last night. Fair enough, I put it on charge, this morning the charging light was still orange, I disconnected the charger and flipped the power off at the wall then back on reconnected the charger but noticed the orange light was still on, without the charger connected.
Oh, and it wouldn't power on either!
So here's the fix. Hold the Power

and Refresh

keys down simultaneously for 5 seconds. Your Chromebook will turn off the orange charging light and boot up all being well.
I thought my favourite laptop of all time had gone to laptop heaven, but it seems CPR exists for Chromebooks.
