jojesa Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Has anyone encountered this issue? The laptop works fine unless I pick the laptop up holding it from the front. If I pick it up from the sides it does not happen. The laptop works normal and all hardware works fine in a desk or table (flat surface). If I move the laptop it loses power. Check this where you can see the power button light going off when moved Link to post Share on other sites
IntelGuy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm guessing short or open circuit.

TomGL2 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Does this happen only when the laptop is on battery power, or only when the adapter is plugged in, or both? What happens when running with the adapter and with the battery removed? Edited May 31, 2012 by TomGL2 Link to post Share on other sites

What happens when running with the adapter and with the battery removed? It does the same on battery or AC power. If the laptop is lifted from the right side or bend a little it shuts down. If the laptop stays on a flat surface or it is pick up by both sides with both hands it stays on. Link to post Share on other sites
TomGL2 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Without having the schematic, I'd guess the problem is at the power supply connector, specifically a cracked solder joint, easily fixed with decent soldering technique; or a lifted and torn pad, for which professional repair should be sought.

Jimmy12312322 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This happens on my laptop only when it is on battery power, but not plugged in. What could be the problem? Link to post Share on other sites
