Windows 11, 10th gen. i5, rtx 3070, Acer Predator
So ... the battery stopped working a long time ago though it shows there is like 70% charge in there or something. The laptop is about 16 months old.
It would sometimes not start unless I left it unplugged for about a day and did the "hold the power button down for 30 seconds" trick AFTER about a day had passed.
So I removed the battery and all was gold. I never carry it anywhere anyway.
Then the same thing started happening again. I leave the thing on 24x7 b/c I know if I shut it down or unplug it I'm hosed and it won't turn on sometimes 2 days.
I try the hold down the power trick but no dice. It just has to sit.
things I've tried:
1-updating bios
2-applying any outstanding windows 11 updates
3-2nd PSU
4-hours of google searches, usually leads to the "hold-down-the-power" path.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
