Hi there,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Generation. It is an awesome device and it used to work flawlessly.
Recently, I am facing the problem that the laptop, when shut down, refuses to boot after pressing the power button. Instead of booting, the power button and keyboard lights briefly flash, the fan turns on, spins at most 1-2 seconds, and everything turns off again. When I keep hitting the power button often enough, like 20 to 100 times, the procedure repeats and at some point the laptop boots normally and everything is fine. I also noticed that very seldomly, when the laptop is in standby, it turns off and then refuses to boot, too. Besides that, the laptop works perfectly, once booted and there is no other problem at all.
I tried to search on Google but could not find any matching error description. Are there any suggestions on your side what the cause might be, how to debug this, and how to fix this?
Thank you very much in advance!
