    Hello,

    I have weird and annoying problem with Clevo BIOS FlexiCharger on my Clevo P650RP6-G. Every time when I turn on my laptop after it had been previously shutdown and unplugged power supply for more than 5-10mins, I have to enter BIOS and overwrite its settings (just press F4) to make FlexiCharger actually work. If I don't do that, even despite the fact that BIOS settings seems okay and FlexiCharger is enabled, it doesn't work and battery is immediately charging to 100%.

    I have tried reset CMOS settings by unplug motherboard battery. I have updated BIOS to 1.05.10 but it didn't change anything. BIOS settings are always set correctly, they doesn't change themself or resets and there are no messages that motherboard battery is in bad state.

    Should it really works like that? Does anyone have idea what can be wrong or if is it possible to fix?

    Really any suggestion is welcome!

    Does it even do that if you remove and re-plug the charger?

    If I shutdown notebook, unplug the charger for short moment (let's say for up to 30 seconds - 1 minute) and then re-plug charger, everything seems okay and FlexiCharger works.
    But if the lack of power lasts longer (~5min or more) and then re-plug charger, FlexiCharger doesn't work despite BIOS settings are still set correctly.

    And of course if the notebook is turned on FlexiCharger always works properly, it doesn't matter for how long I unplug the charger. Moreover obviously if I don't unplug the charger FlexiCharger also works correctly.
