Now that Dell 3060 and 3070 Micro MFF have become available quite a bit cheaper than before, please note that both only support M.2 PCIe x2 (though the 3060 documentation indicates x4, the 3070 documentation correctly states x2).
This is a board electronics issue, as the chip-set does support x4.
The M.2 connector however is more versatile than I expected and does support a variety of M.2 keying of which not all “big connector” PCI-e or USB M.2 adapters support:

I have a few Anker PowerCore+ 26,800 USB power banks of which one would not show the charger lights any more. This is how to reset these power banks (should also work with other Anker power banks).
Below is how to reset it; after that the charging indicator started functioning again:
Try another outlet. If that doesn’t work, plug it into itself.Take a USB cable and plug that into the output and plug the output into the input. This will reset the battery.
