Here are reddit discussions but my Vantage app does not have these settings.

Pin hole reset temp fixed - it came back.

Buy a genuine T480s power charger?

Buy a generic power charger that delivers the appropriate wattage?

You're not really giving us much to go on and I'm not willing to scroll through a reddit post to figure out what you're up against...

You can easily measure the wattage coming from your chargers with a cheap multimeter (measure voltage and current and multiply the two results). Assuming it registers where it should be, the issue is either hardware or software in your PC.

One alternative would be to do a format and clean Windows install. That should rule out software issues... Without more information it's hard to suggest anything else. No idea what 'pin hole reset temp' means...
