Some time ago, I set up an NVMe into my Pinebook Pro and installed Debian there. Later, a couple months ago, I kept finding that my battery would stop getting charged at random times and the power LED would start blinking. Sometimes this was temporary and the battery would start charging again after some time, but other times it reached 0%.
When the CPU load is high (say, compiling something non-trivial or playing a video, on disk or streamed), sometimes the part of the computer chassis next to the motherboard gets really hot, the battery stops charging for a longer time and this is usually followed by I/O errors trying to access the NVMe. When booting from MicroSD, these errors happen trying to access the MicroSD instead. For reference, cooling the computer by applying an ice bag to the bottom cover didn't help, even though both the bottom cover and the keyboard were cold, and changing the DTB so that it used NVMe at Gen1 speeds, as suggested in other threads, didn't help either.
When I reboot after an I/O failure, the computer succeds at booting from the same media but gets I/O errors soon afterwards, so I have to wait until it gets cold again (or as cold as it can get in this part of the world in summer). When I disconnect the battery and connect the short-circuit cables (the ones used to power the computer directly from the plug), all of these problems disappear, but I want my laptop to be a laptop.
I honestly can't figure out where these errors come from or how to fix them, so any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
