r/FlowX13

I let the laptop sit for several months without turning on or charging and now it won't turn on. I tried all sorts of methods mentioned on reddit and other sites but no luck.

Initially when I plug in the power, the charging light would come on after a few seconds but still won't turn on. I tried leaving it charging overnight, pressing the power button for 40-60 seconds. The last time I tried holding down the power the charging light went off and didn't come back on. The light came on previously when I tried it but now the charging light doesn't even light up. I also tried the official charger and other PD chargers.

The only thing I haven't tried is to open it up and disconnect the battery. Anybody else have any other pointers?

Thanks

Hi! I’m considering using Linux on the Flow X13 laptop. I’ve already set up a dual-boot system (Linux Mint and Windows 10) on my ThinkPad, so I know some the basics. However, I’ve come across reviews suggesting that you usually have to sacrifice good touchscreen or fingerprint reader functionality—and I really need both of those features to work flawlessly.

Can u recommend any distro that will work with dualboot wihout spending long hours on configuration? I use my laptop mostly for work, simple graphics, google docs and text editing, so i more prefer customizable GUI than gaming features.

Also is it really worth to use linux on flow x13?
