Yeah, @Magara and @Marshall0904 , I am a bit surprised that there is such a long time and since the last BIOS update, undervolting or not. Personally I do not have the urge to go undervolting at the moment*. PH16-71 is not however not without bugs so I expected to see more updates. I wouldn't have guessed that Acer gave up…

(off topic) @Puraw re: TBT4 PD being limited to 100 W; I am using a USB power source of high quality and I would expect proper handshake between the laptop and the charger negotiating the apropriate voltage and ampere DC, wouldn't you? The point with a very power capable high quality usb trafo is, to me, rigidity and…

@Puraw Thanx! That answered my question! And to answer you : Yes, I was using laptop > usb > dock (injected with own power supply, hence the error message) > Display Port > Display (with own power supply) And, yes, the BIOS 1.16 i shy of two weeks from one year old!

@ mod # please if possible correct post description / heading, is "PN16-71", should say "PH16-71" (it is regarding the Predator Helios 16 laptop) thx

{PH16-71 Predator Helios 16} @Puraw @StevenGen OFF TOPIC on usb-chargers, power brick Hey, guys! How's it going. I. [off topic] @Puraw @StevenGen So, thanks for your concern regarding usb chargers. If I would choose to use usb-c to charge my PH16-71 unit, my go to would be my GaN 300 W usb-c charger over a 1 meter Belkin…

hey @StevenGen ! Whats up So, the use case in my original Post is: running the laptop with AC power, that is the 'barrel' connection. Sorry if my English was unclear on that point. I have not intention to power the computer over USB in this case. Hence, my original questions are: 1. I assume this is not harmful to the…

@Puraw , Hi! i. a) Answer: Can't remember if I've tried both usb-c ports. Could be, maybe, maybe not. Might be only the one to the right since that would be closer to the docking station I use. b) How come, do you think it would matter wich of the two usb-c ports? ii. Clarification, a) as I tried to describe in the…

Thanks @StevenGen! I'll read in detail later on, now about to eat!

Hey, @StevenGen ! Re yout Q, A: Correction; Helios model PH16-71, not !PN16-71 (erroneous indicated in original post subject heading)

Hey Puraw! Nice to see you again, kindly giving me answers! I'll get back to you later, about to eat! Short answer your question re: 24h2 - right now I'm not sure if I used the ISO, I simply followed Microsofts instructions [link] after MS told me my computer was ready for 24h2, straight forward, no hassle. I think i used…

@freeAppz re "Btw, when I download PS from Acer website and install PS it redirects me after installed setup.exe to MS Store for another download that cant be found if I search for it on MS store?" Goog question! Did you find how to search for predatorsense in Microsoft Store?

@Puraw Ah, a so called 'meatball menu' :) Thanx!

(@mod ok thanks I will insert model name in title in future - interesting though it seems I am unable to edit the post myself…?) #ot

Shoutout and huge thanks to @AnhEZ28 ! "You can try turning off the laptop, unplugging the charger, and holding the power button for 15 seconds to do a power reset." IT WORKED!! Previously I had only tried holding for 10 seconds, but this solved the issue! Thanks again!

Found a way to reflash? I'm having problems and want to reflash to 1.16 or rollback to earlier fw. on my Predator 16 (PH16-71) /// EDIT: I am not booting with LAN, so I guess according to @StevenGen I shouldn't have flashed up to 1.16 in the first place!

Thanks @AnhEZ28 ! I'll try the 15 seconds when I am at my PH16-71. I already tried that, yesterday, setting all BIOS to default but the issue prevails. Thanks mate. // EDIT: P.s. #BIOS …. I do, however, consider rolling the BIOS update back to ver. earlier than 1.16 and the back agin. //

@StevenGen I'd love to see more discussion on this and I think it's a topic worthy its own thread! Cheers.

@Puraw "Note that Acer stopped 80% battery limiting options for the last Acer Care versions." O.T. but I'm gonna go ahead stick my neck out here and say… no not really :) I would lean towards disagreeing on you in that regard. See, I've used that function, in Acer care latest ed. I'm aware of, twice, today. [EDIT: ver.…

Yes, I do edit the registry, so far so good :) O.T. hoax or not, as mentioned, increasing from 80% to full 100% still did not keep PH16-71 from denying power up whilst on battery (100%) alone without power cable plug. It' be nice to be able to power up the computer without power cable if need be.

P.s. on meassures: Also tried disabling/enabling Windows quick startup/boot from option but that did not help.
