Hey guys,
Google isn't much help, so let's see if it works over here!
My laptop is probably starting to become a bit old with almost 3 years now, so it's starting to show some weird things. I've had a few times now that it random goes to sleep, just in the middle of doing whatever. In the windows Event Viewer I see that at the time, it registered that the sleep button was pressed / the laptop lid was closed (both of which didn't happen). A workaround at the moment is just selecting that the laptop doesn't go to sleep from the lid/button, but i'd like to find out if something can be done.
Anyone ever experience something like this, and have any tips on how to work on this? (Worst case the lid-detector is broken and sends out random TRUE values or something, which is probably not salvagable)
Machine is an ACER nitro 5 running Windows 10, so far always plugged in, almost 3 years old.
I've heard of similar issues caused by magnets, either on some wrist accessoire or on the desk below the laptop. So maybe that or the lid sensor is dieing and misfires.
On another note: Windows 5??
Could also be the power button incorrectly thinking it's being pressed.
Hm it so far happened at work and on my couch, and I don't wear wrist things, but good to keep in mind, thanks.
Yeah im afraid of the lid sensor being broken, prolly not an easy fix. Then I'll have to resort to changing the lid settings and manually sleeping i guess.
Oh and "5" was a typo lol, i probably had the laptop series on my mind.
