My Thinkpad T480s randomly dies with Arch Linux
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.

I dosen't show BIOS no signs of life until charger is plugged in.
In that case, I don't think the problem is with Arch. The battery is likely shot, as going from partly charged -> dead that quickly is a very common symptom of one that's reached the end of its life.
