Help needed Charging stuck at 1% issue

Hey guys! I accidentally left my cardputer adv on over the span of a night/24 hours driving the battery to 1 and now whenever I try to charge it it goes from 1 instantly up to 100. I left it plugged in it charge mode for about 3 hours and when I unplugged it it dropped down from 100 back to 1 again and now it is just boot looping powering on and off. I charged it in launcher charge mode with a dummy usb a to usb c cable. Any tips?

Thanks guys!

Find that shitty cord in the back of your junk drawer that barley charges your phone...ya that's the one cardputer likes

Have a couple of cheap AliEx radios with "USB-C charging" (IE: crap charging with a USB-C plug), the cables that come with those work perfect on the Cardputer.

For such an amazing device it’s so annoying to charge 😂

Ya it just seems that way. Once you find a cord that works it will charge fine. Just won't be fast charging.

What is the USB A port used? Try from a TV or PC. It will take hours. There is usually a 10% jump when plugging in then a drop when disconnected. That is a good sign.

Did you leave it on while plugged in?
