Battery indicator is incorrect, shows 1% for ages but will work for ages after this but screen is hard to see as automatically goes to dark. Probably at about 50 % but shows 1% . Don’t want to do a factory reset any other suggestions

thanks i will try this

The battery probably needs to be replaced, if that doesn’t help then it’s a board level issue that I don’t think is worth repairing. Battery is fairly cheap to replace.
