Other PC Laptops: Why does my laptop abruptly shutdown?

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 12:42:09 -0700

I have post this in other forum such as TH and LTT. I have not yet found an answer.

I have an Avita Liber V Ryzen 7 AMD NS14A8 . This is an off brand from Hong Kong, i think?

Why does my laptop abruptly shutdown, black screen but the power is running and fan is spinning.

Action taken so far

Soft format (Keep Personal File from Recovery Option in Setting)
Hard format from BIOS screen. Remove everything
Disabled Fast Startup
Edit Power Setting From 100% to 90% at Processor Power Management
Replace Thermal Paste
Reseat the Display Connector Ribbon
Unable to reseat RAM because its integrated to the motherboard
Unable to reseat the GPU because its integrated to the motherboard
Used external display. connect it to the HDMI (No Signal Detected)
Disconnected power from the battery because its integrated as well. So i am on AC all the time
I did the remove batter and hold power for 30 second

Funny observation

When i am on full screen on Warthunder, laptop dont power off. I can play for hours.

But the moment i am trying to watch Youtube or do some work on Microsoft Office, suddenly black screen. The power led is on. Fan is spinning to discharge heat.

HW Monitor records normal temperature range 50c~80c~

The only reason i chose this brand because its offering Ryzen 7 at such a price of MYR2400.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

eMachines em350: Won't turn on unless plugged in

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 13:57:49 -0700

New battery installed, but won't turn on unless plugged in. The battery indicator is on when i plugged it in and is in 100 percent. I also ran a battery report and it seems to be good as it did detect it. Now the weird part is when i discharged this laptop a week a ago by removing the battery and holding the power button a couple of times, i left it in for a couple of days and when i boot it up unplugged it worked just fine, but when i plugged it again to charge the battery, it goes back to not booting up unless i plugged it in. If i unplugged it the laptop dies instantly.

Other PC Laptops: Tegangan 5v hilang, sempat menyala namun hanya sebentar mati restar

Fri, 08 May 2026 20:22:24 -0700

Advan soulmate 1405 laptop

Laptop ini mengalami kerusakan restar sendiri atau nyala mati sebelumnya sekitar 2-4 detik. Lalu setelahnya menjadi mati tidak mau menyala sama sekali pada tegangan coil 5v hilang, untuk tegangan lain normal seperti 3,3v dan arus cas 8,2v ada. Setelah saya biarkan agak lama 3-4 hari bisa hidup kembali dengan gejala yang sama namun belum normal. Bisa bantu saya memecahkan permasalahannya

Translation Indonesian → English

The 5V voltage is missing, it turns on briefly, but then shuts down and restarts.

This laptop is experiencing a restart problem, or it turns on and off for about 2-4 seconds. Then, it shuts down and won't turn on at all. The 5V coil voltage is missing, but other voltages are normal, such as 3.3V, and the charging current is 8.2V. After leaving it for 3-4 days, it restarts with the same symptoms, but it's still not working properly. Could you help me troubleshoot this issue?

AST Ascentia 520i: How to replace the keyboard

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 07:43:45 -0700

Now I will show you how to replace the keyboard of a Dell Inspiron laptop.

You have to prepare some equipment including a flathead screwdriver and a new keyboard.

Remember to remove all the peripherals like the AC adapter and battery from the laptop. Don't use a razor blade because it might leave some scratches on your laptop.

There are 8 steps in total:

First, slide two battery-release latches into the unlocked position.
Next, remove the battery from the battery base.
Then, turn over the laptop and open it.
After that, use a small flathead screwdriver to pry away 5 keyboard latches.
Next, you should carefully lift the keyboard.
Then, disconnect the keyboard cable.
After that, remove the old keyboard.
Finally, reverse the above steps to install the new keyboard.

I have just told you the steps to change the keyboard. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Disconnect power adapter and reconnect it, it just loops from #1 above.
