Standalone Operation

  • Yes
  • No

Describe the bug

For a reason I have yet to be able to determine charging the battery on ports 2,4 and 5 stops functioning. Sometimes it starts working again for reasons I also don't understand. Port one always charges the laptop though with the exact same cable and charger.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use laptop normally.
  2. Plugging a cable into 2,4 and 5 will no longer charge the laptop.
  3. Plugging cable into 1 will always charge laptop.

Expected behavior

Able to always charge the laptop from any ports supporting power delivery (1, 2, 4, 5)

Operating System (please complete the following information):

  • Linux
  • Distro: Arch
  • Version: Linux avasarala 6.12.9-arch1-1 # 1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 10 Jan 2025 00:39:41 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Additional context

Called into the support once and they had me reset the EC. That fixed the problem for a short period of time but it comes back.
