Last time it was on it was strugging to charge, on and off while using the Anker 65W Powerpoint 3 adapter, once it died it just stopped charging didn’t matter the adapter/wire.
Left it alone for weeks and just re-attempted and now I have the amber light on, laptop seems like it powers on with the white LED power button on but no display. I’ve tried moving the USB C card to the other ports and it flashed green, amber and blue at one point.
It doesn’t seem like it’s charging at all. Is it possible that the Anker brick ruined the internal battery?
Just did the reset about an hour ago. Left it charging. Tried to power it on and got a solid green light (first i’ve seen in a while) but no display and white LED power button on. Turned it back off and leaving it to charge the 24hrs.
Appreciate all the info! It’s unfortunate that this is just a band-aid fix and requires a workaround.
Months before this issue I noticed it stopped holding a good charge to the battery compared to when I first purchased it, I assume it relates to the RTC?
RTC and normal battery are separate entities. If you turn it on after a full reset it could take a little bit to train the memory without displaying anything. So you might need to be patient.
It’s a design flaw or errata if you will of the 11th gen board combined with a bug with 11th gen processors that makes it get stuck.
The RTC Battery Substitute module I believe makes it worth like subsequent generations. Though just replacing your RTC battery will make it work again like usual.
