I can’t find an active thinkpad centric community on here I am just going to post here. My Thinkpad T480s, 16 GB RAM, 238 GB SSD is randomly shutting off while at like 50%. When I try to open it back up it always is dead and I have to connect charger to boot it up again. Why is this happening? Is it battery issue? It complains about not being able to read temp2_input while shutting down and sometimes say PM usage count underflow. Not sure what that is supposed to mean.
Yeah I think that's a battery issue. If you can run the computer fine without it, that might eliminate the probability. Maybe check if a firmware update is needed, but I think simply if the battery hasn't been swapped, it's probably due for one.
