Quirks
- Ever since the NVMe SSD was installed, the computer might hang when restarting. This is a firmware issue since the keyboard light doesn't automatically turn off when this happens. So, instead, shutdown the computer and then start it.
- Several keys on the internal keyboard are unresponsive, such as Left Ctrl, S.
History
- The computer is transported to my parents' place from Best Buy.
- ⚠️ The keyboard starts having intermittent issues with the affected keys.
- The computer is transported to my dorm room.
- The keyboard cable is reseated, fixing the problem for a short time.
- ⚠️ My dorm roommate rearranges my desk while I am gone one day, putting a coaster under the still-plugged-in plugs on the right side of the laptop, which results in the ports becoming slightly wobbly.
