Nada Left battery unplugged for a couple mins and nothing.
Try the reverse situation by removing the battery while powering the Librem 14 via AC or USB PD.
To confirm: Unplug battery and try to power on Via USB-C or AC?
Yes, we need to know if the battery is the cause of the issue or not.
okay.
Tried powering on via USB-C … Nothing. Don’t have AC brick with my at the moment to test.
Okay, once you have access to the AC power adapter, test it against the Librem 14 and let us know the results.
Interesting thing i discovered… upon inspection one of the cells is bloated so… battery looks more like a probability?
Maybe, in that case the battery should remain separated until you know whether or not the AC power adapter works with the Librem 14. Once we have those results, I can suggest a plan of action for your circumstances at that point.
Can do!! Thank you so much for your help on this! Always nice to have a second brain working on HW issues!!
Morning!
Tested with battery unplugged and AC brick plugged in. No screen. It does look like its trying to power on, just the display is black.
Without battery plugged-in it can boot 30 sec after pushing the power button. Also try switching sides of USB-C if you use it for power.
Tried both USB-C and AC Power brick… nothing…
Yea, will the all the troubleshooting… no display
