Just wanted to add a note to the above which worked well.
FYI 15" SB2 512GB 16GB RAM
Somehow, my power supply became unplugged and when I first plugged it back in, it did not appear to respond to the charge and the back of the unit was really warm. I removed the power connector until the back was cool, reconnected the power and left the
unit for about 20ish minutes.
Following the additional guidance of holding the power button for about 20 seconds then worked for me to get the unit booted and useable and the unit showed that the battery was at 28% with 1 hour and 21 minutes until full charge (interestingly, looks to
be about a minute of charge for 1% of battery)
So, in summary - hopefully this helps someone else if their unit drains completely and will not boot (even with power connected)
- When you plug the unit into the charger, if the back becomes very warm, remove the power connector and all other usb connections until the unit is cool to the touch.
- Once the unit is completely cool, reconnect the power connector and ensure the light is a solid white but do not plug any other usb devices in yet. In other threads, moderators have recommended to wait 5 minutes - I would suggest a bit longer to ensure
a decent charge for booting and to ensure the unit is not still getting hot.
- If the unit stays cool and the power has been reconnected for an appropriate amount of time per my #2, press and hold the power button until the white MS logo appears and then release (about 20 seconds depending)
This is how it worked for me but your mileage may vary :)
