Turn your laptop 180 degrees.
Insert a safety pin in the "Reset EC" slot.
There is potential hardware damage to the laptop if "Reset EC" not performed.
A safety pin has small enough diameter to fit into the "Reset EC" to perform this step.
Resetting the EC requires holding the RESET EC button for a full 30 seconds. Simply inserting the safety pin for a brief moment will not trigger a reset.
After performing a reset of the EC, your PC may not turn on using the power button if it's on battery power. In this case, you'll need to plug in the charger and wait for the laptop to turn on and to display. This does indeed indicate that the RESET EC was successful.
Wait for 5 minutes after Resetting EC, to ensure that all components are properly powered down, which can prevent accidental damage.
