Alert! TPM device is not detected. Dell laptop. Removed AC Power for 30 sec. Turned on Laptop

Disclaimer: Boring Video.
I received this error recently on my dell laptop.
HEADLESS OPERATION ACTIVE
Alert! TPM device is not detected.
It would not allow me to boot into the windows 10 OS.
1. I tried this:
www.dell.com/s...
2. I read this...
www.dell.com/s...
3. Finally, in part of this forum, it mentions removing the power and waiting 30 seconds. This worked for me:
www.dell.com/c...
Good luck. I'm not sure what solution will work for you.. but I hope you don't run into this error.

[@nordattack]

My laptop has a battery though, so if I unplug it the bios does not lose power. Did not work for me.

[@JustinYummy]

thank you, seemed to have worked, and TPM is showing in device manager now too. lol @ you pointing at the power cord like "SEE WHAT YOU DID? BAD!"

[@aleksdude]

I was actually at work when this happened. I only pointed at it.. because I didn't want to be too loud (we have a communal desk bench... no more cubicles for US!)

[@garviynkamanga8533]

This worked for me today. Thanks bro😀

[@anacarollinepereira443]

[@zarehmegerdoonian5683]

Thank you! Worked !

[@aleksdude]

Great! Beats doing the other stuff

[@gianghai4264]

😂😂😂😂 I tried anything other but this is really helpfull

[@aleksdude]

hahaha.. I tried a bunch of other stuff too. It amazed me it was just a simple power off.
I do get annoyed abit when people who try this and it doesn't work.. they instantly comment "doesn't work". I wish the replies were more meaningful with what were symptoms and other troubleshooting attempts?

[@vidaltt1220]

Thank you it worked
