No, it was unplugged. It was fully charged when I thought I bricked it, and it was at 9% when it booted again. That makes me think it was running in some way, but the system time was still at the same date....
It's a ghost. Always sleep with a vacuum.
Good advice 👍
I have had two laptops fail to boot. one needed ram removed and put back in...not that you could do with yours. the other needed power button held down for 45 seconds as a hard reset.
Maybe sitting unplugged for months worked as a hard reset? ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
Did you try plugging it in initially after you disassembled it and reassembled it? I've found on chromebooks that the embedded controller doesn't seem to wake up until the charger is plugged in after unplugging the battery. Could it be that you initially didn't plug it in before trying it months ago, but months later you figured the battery would be low after all that time so you plugged it in finally starting the embedded controller?
No, I didn't plug it in initially, but I also didn't plug it in when it started, until I saw that the battery was low
