Good day everyone. I am a Partially sighted Linux user. Just started using Linux lite. I have recently installed it on an AMD laptop however, I am running into  booting issues. The system works perfectly if it is plugged into the power supply however, it will boot to a black screen without power. I have searched everywhere,  even found other threads with this problem but have not found a solution

Can someone please help
Can any one offer  some assistant? I have been told that this is a bug in the OS
I have also tried updating the AMD drivers and still nothing.
If you have searched everywhere, I'm sure others have too. Sometimes, threads have no solution, that's the case sometimes for any online forum.
