      AFAIK a new battery + entering the Bitlocker recovery key fixed the problems.

      Usually these batteries hold for years. I have a 15+ year old laptop where I had to replace the battery after ~10 years.

      However the affected laptops are now a few years old, aren’t designed properly (I heard weird stuff happening like adding additional RAM somehow causes the display to fail) and somehow just have a CR2016 battery installed, not a bigger CR2032. And yes these are buisness-laptops designed for companies -.-
