I installed the 3.05 BIOS update, and the light by my USBC port changed colors. It uses red instead of orange for charging, and purple instead of white for “fully charged”. Is there a new guide to these colors?
this sounds like it could just be an issue with the green LED(s) in your laptop. Are you seeing these colors when you plug in the charger on either side of the laptop?

No, the other side is fine, the green LED probably broke somehow.
Oh, the 13th Gen must have the same design as the 11th Gen.
The embedded controller has to disable the green LED on one side to unlock flash access.
If you leave it powered off and disconnected from AC for ~30 seconds, it should reset and re-lock.

That fixed it, thank you!
