Librem 5 won’t turn on

Hardware Librem 5
8

This time:

Case: Light goes green for 1-2 seconds, goes yellow 1-2 seconds, goes red, tries to turn on the screen, and boot loops.

Solution:

  1. Plug in the librem 5 to a reasonably strong usbc power source.
  2. Hold volume down and power. The system should stop rebooting at this point and the light will stay a solid red.
  3. Wait for reasonable charge. Power on as usual.

There is another set of instructions for a completely dead battery, something about removing the battery, plugging it in… holding down buttons, then adding the battery back? Something like that. If anyone has the details, please share because I’m working off of memory and optimism here.
