    HP 2230s powering off randomly

    Hi all,
    I have this HP laptop it is a 13" 2230s, and it just powers off randomly. Sometimes before booting, sometime in windows.
    I cleaned the vent and cooler, checked the cooler, so it's not overheating. My guess is cold joint but i try ti twist the board but couldn't find any pattern of behavior. Also check through magnifying glass for visible damage or cold joints, none found.

    Does anybody have some kind of idea?

      Did anybody had a similar case or an idea? Because im out of ideas, only to reflow the whole board. But that's the last resort i want to use.

          Long shot - have you tried removing cleaning and replacing the ram.
          (If it is removable)
          Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

              Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 NVME keeps randomly disconnecting
              by pcwhiz24
              This issue has me stumped! I have this Lenovo IdeaPad and the SSD (NVME) keeps on randomly disconnecting. It'll stop being detected in BIOS randomly and when I turn it off and back on sometimes it'll detect again and boot up just fine...only to crash after a few minutes and either boot again or stop being detected.

              Things I tried so far:

              - Reset the CMOS by removing battery, held power buttons 60 seconds, all that jazz.
              - BIOS is fully updated (had to use CHA341 because I bricked it the first time trying to update it)
              - Tried multiple working NVME drives...

              OLD Socket 478 custom bracket + NEW generic cooler
              by BleedCap
              I already posted this on vogons.
              Its a 3d printed custom bracket for socket 478.
              I used this AM4 bracket as a base design.
              Its to be use with cheap generic clip based cpu cooler.

              Reason for doing this is:
              - Its hard to get/find a good copper base cooler. Even if you find one, the price is ....
              - New generic cooler is cheaper and can use bigger fan (less noise)

              I tested the bracket with cheap chinese horizontal cooler + fan taken from CM hyper 212 evo.
              The processor that I was using is P4 2.4Ghz prescott....

              Dell Inspiron 7560 randomly powering off
              by pingaroon
              Hi all,

              I have a nice i7 Inspiron 7560 motherboard which appears to be perfect with the exception of the major flaw I will describe.

              It just switches itself off after a short period - sometimes very early in the process, even before the Dell logo comes up. The power button brings it back up again, but it switches itself off normally after between 5 seconds and 2 minutes. Sudden power off, no lights. Not heat-related - it never gets the chance to heat up the heatsink.

              When I first got it, it would stay on for longer than 2 minutes - anywhere up to 15 minutes,...

              Zombie Samsung UN55NU6900F dead / no standby voltage - randomly came to life after hours of troubleshooting then died
              by tvguy12012012120
              This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

              Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....

              LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
              by valvashon
              The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
              Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...
