Hi, after dropping my thinkpad, the battery got slightly messed up. I have to move a battery pin to have it fit in the slot, the battery charging status is often not read by Linux, and sometimes power won’t be received even without the battery. I’m hoping the solution would just be figuring out how to remove the pin stuck in the motherboard slot (attempts so far have evaded me) and getting a new battery, but what does it look like to you? Thanks!
Nothing does feel loose to me, but I found the charging issue (w/o battery) is weird but consistent: the OEM charger stopped working, but a 3rd party one does work consistently. I’m not sure what to make of both the OEM charger and the battery breaking simultaneously given that the OEM charger was not involved in the laptop dropping, but perhaps the charging port shifted in a way imperceptible to me. Either way, I’ve ordered a new battery, and I’ll try sticking with that and the 3rd party charger from now on. Thanks for the help!
