Hi,
A friend has a Gemini 14" laptop that had a bulging battery issue recently so the battery was removed before it exploded. The laptop has been running happily since then on AC power. The other day, the latop power was abruptly removed without powering down cleanly and now it won't boot.
Some symptoms:
On pressing the power button, the blue power light comes on for about 4 seconds then goes out.
There is a red blinking LED at the left, flashing on and off every second, whenever the power supply is plugged in
I've been trying to perform some data recovery as the user documents area was set to the 128GB M.2 drive, but when removing the drive and attachint it to an external USB enclosure and connecting it to a different PC, it is not even recognised as a device by either Windows or Linux.
I'm hoping that when the power was yanked it hasn't completely fried the machine and drive - it seems unlikely that they would both get damaged simultaneously, but I guess that's a possibility.
I don't have a spare battery to try, but the laptop was previously working without one.
Any thoughts?
