List Of Related Issues? Power On, Fingerprint Reader & Clock Failure

You have the standard RTC coin cell issue in a mild variant, some laptops get stuck even more so they don’t even boot after connecting to power.

Contact support to get a replacement RTC battery (they send them even when you’re out of warranty, as it’s a known issue) and make sure to never unplug your laptop from power for a longer time (multiple days/weeks) and that you let it connected for some time even when fully charged.

There is some work going on for a more permanent fix (that requires soldering a wire to your mainboard) which makes the laptop not need the RTC coin cell anymore.
