I get it. I've changed at least five windows machines to Linux in the past. This past fall, I was switch my HP spectre to Linux and bricked the fucking thing. All of the security windows shit meant a bunch of bios changes, then out of nowhere it wouldnt charge the battery. No idea how to fix it now that the battery and/or laptop won't recognize the power plugged into any of the usbc ports. Ive tried different chargers, different outlets, and leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, but no life at all. No power means I cant restore to default bios, and Linux wouldnt install because once I was done fucking with the security, i didnt have enough battery to complete the install. It's fucking embarrassing. I then gave up and upgraded to a gaming laptop with a 5070ti, but I'd love to resurrect that old one if anybody has any tips. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Eheran@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children) Resetting the BIOS involves removing the internal CR2032 battery.
