Try unplugging the battery for ~30mins and pressing the power button every now and then to fully drain the system.
Thanks, I’ll try that.
wow i didnt even know that was possible! bricked as in you dont even get to a bios logo screen? the obvious would be if you set the boot device to a added m2 drive, then to remove it and see if the bios reverts. very interesting though – i would have guessed you needed to change one of the advanced settings to brick it!
Yes, I can’t get any bios screen, even the blue leds doesn’t light up after pressing power button for more than 15 secs.
Other issues I have found are that the space bar sometimes doesn’t work, and the sticker in the battery says ‘4800mAh’, although Windows reports more than 6hrs battery life.
