    Same. I recently changed the battery on my 6 year old laptop. Works still fine. No need to buy a new one

      Me too! I hoped it would fix it from turning itself off when it isn’t plugged in. But it still isn’t working, so some other connection is naf.

        I’m no expert, but have you tried to change the CMOS Battery? After I haven’t switched my laptop on for some time, it would bootloop 3-4 times before turning on. Changing the CMOS battery did fix it for me.

          Oh wow, I didn’t even know that was a thing. Looking it up that might be the fix. My computer can’t keep time or date which is one of the side effects of a dead CMOS.

          Thank you kind stranger!
