Thanks, Bernie.

I actually have a second K3 as a parts unit (broken screen. model without wlan), so I can swap hardware to localize.

I agree battery/PMIC behavior sounds more plausible. I’ll start with a battery replacement first.

If that doesn’t change anything, I’ll swap the entire slider assembly from the donor unit just to rule it out completely.
