npub1a5zyapgn57j8d9ddyugfa6rdh98gc7vxsazduuy4arsyxt5q7r4sq8hcww (npub1a5z…hcww) There's this story about a Thinkpad support hotline procedure that's introduced as "You might think I'm crazy, but please bear with me" and then proceeds to instruct to first remove battery and power source and then to press the "on" button repeatedly, long and short presses.
Apparently it's the fast way to make sure that the Embedded Controller really *really* runs out of power and goes into reset, fixing a surprising number of sporadic issues.
