Fon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Bloody windows 7 laptop, randomly shutting down on its own. No, prompt, no windows is installing updates etc, just shutting down! GRRRRRRRRRR Tried everything, bios updates, driver updates etc. Then rebuilt it. Problem still exists. GRRRRRRRRRRR Tried different power supply s etc, Then, today instead of powering down, it actually hibernated! Interesting, as it should only do that when shutting the lid on battery's, as if I shut the lid with power, it shuts down. And low and behold it was on battery, so the problem must be it thinks im shutting the lid. Turns out it knows iv shut the lid, as it has a magnetic sensor on the left hand side of the keyboard, and iv been wearing a magnetic watch strap for months! FFS, talk about wasting hours and hours trying to fault find it! Fon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh4ckles Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Lol I bet ebay may have one or two perfectly working laptops due to the same issue. Moral of the story....... always use the laptop naked and when the wife asks just say it's the only way it works. Worth it to see the look on her face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktv303 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 [emoji23] [emoji23] I sat for ages trying you fix my boys Wi-Fi connection on his lappy a few weeks ago only to discover the router wasn't connected to the phone line ffs. No Fekkin idea how that happened cause it's behind the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
