My main concern is that I'm coming up on 30 days with this laptop. Because my system shipped with Windows, I don't have access to an official Dell Ubuntu image that would likely contain any needed patches/fixes, if the issue truly is limited to software. However, Dell has their own customized Ubuntu image. I know Dell ships this model with Ubuntu 18.04 installed, so I know the hardware 'should' be able to work in that configuration. I was hoping it was an obvious hardware problem that could be repaired. So I reinstalled Windows 10, and frustratingly, the problem isn't there. I spoke with Dell technical support and their stance was that since the laptop shipped with Windows, they can't provide support. for 20 minutes until I hold down the power button, plug in the charger, and power on again. Ubuntu 18.04 seems to get farther I actually see the Ubuntu logo with the 5 white dots that turn orange, and then back to white, and then back to orange.

The issue is there before I install Nvidia drivers and afterwards, so that seems to have no effect. I've tried the latest Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, as well as Ubuntu 18.04.3, all with the same startup issue.

I've reinstalled without full disk encryption and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Once I've made it to the login screen, I can unplug the charger and everything keeps working normally from there. If I plug the charger back in and power on again, it comes right back up.
I have to poweroff by holding the power button to get out of this state. I never get prompted for my disk decryption key, although the keyboard backlight activates if I touch the keyboard. I see a message about booting in insecure mode because secure boot is disabled, and that's it. I see the Dell splash screen come and go. On battery, 9 times out of 10, it won't cold boot. It will only boot if the AC adapter is plugged in. The first thing I did was wipe the SSD and install the latest Linux Mint. I recently got a new Precision 7540 laptop for work.
