Amd laptop not booting without charger - Dash123 - 04-08-2021
Good day everyone. I am a Partially sighted Linux user. Just started using Linux lite. I have recently installed it on an AMD laptop however, I am running into booting issues. The system works perfectly if it is plugged into the power supply however, it will boot to a black screen without power. I have searched everywhere, even found other threads with this problem but have not found a solution
Can someone please help

Can any one offer some assistant? I have been told that this is a bug in the OS
I have also tried updating the AMD drivers and still nothing.
