    Seems like a battery issue, wasn’t charging earlier but reseating the battery it is now posting 255% charge when plugged in. Will look at getting a new battery, recalibrating the one in there now, and getting a new charging board. But fuck this is annoying

      Yeah that sounds really irritating. At least it’s just a power supply issue tho. Your data will be fine and your laptop will live again.
