I have made serveral runs on an orthorhombic structure with no problem but then I try to turn on LSORBIT = .true. it fails. I am getting the following error.

I made previous self-consistent runs, then keeping everything constant made ICHARG = 11 and the other suggestions made in the manual. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

if the k-point mesh has changed, the charge obtained from the read WAVECAR file may be completely wrong because the ordering of the k-points may differ (i.e. the read 36 kpoints to not correspond to the first 36 k-points of the 64-mesh, and the weights are different,....)
Please check if the errors persist if you either keep the same k-mesh or do not start from the WAVECAR.

Hello,
I am having this exact problem. What do you mean by 'keep the same k-mesh'? How do I ensure I am doing this?
Thank you,
tsemi

Could someone please explain how to make sure the k-mesh is the same for SOC runs?
Thank you.
Thank you.

as SOC can only be run without any symmetry imposed on the cell, the k-mesh of the full BZ has to be used. You can eg start a run with the input parameters you use for the SOC run and use the IBZKPT file (written at the beginning of a vasp run) as KPOINTS file
