Hello.
I have a power issue with my laptop and I am out of ideas.
It is a Lenovo B560 running Windows 10.
When the lid closes, the unit goes into 'sleep' mode.
The problem occurs when it is being transported in a slip case, which in turn in carried in a bag with a strap over my shoulder.
It appears that during transportation, something happens and the laptop dies. It doesn't shut down - this in an ungraceful power off and this is reflected in the system logs when I switch it back on.
There is always plenty of battery power - 70% or more.
I thought the battery might be loose so have gaffa taped it on. No difference.
I have looked through all Windows power settings - nothing unusual there (ie/ hard disk is not set to turn off at any time).
There are no other power-related bits of software installed.
The unit does not have a motion sensor.
I have been inside and reseated the hard disk, RAM and pretty much anything else I can.
No sign of overheating or any loose connections inside.
If I shake the laptop, it doesn't loose power yet when transported, something causes it to.
Any ideas because I am stuck on this one?
Many thanks.
Oliver.
