The laptop was fine until it ran out of power. The required accessory died within 3 days of arrival, leaving no way to use the laptop. Not sure what "other charging method" you mean: do you mean plugging it directly into the laptop after switching away from battery? I did try that, it didn't do anything.

Do you mean using the USB-C cord that Pine didn't provide? How would I try using a cord that want provided? I bought one and it did work (when held at the right angle in the sloppy USB-C port).

Did that answer your question?
