Hello smart people of Badcaps forum,

I have this absolute beast on my bench and I'm having a hard times with it.

Laptop posts fine, goes into windows and behaves normaly. Unless, it gets moved or somehow bent even a little bit - at this point it immediately freezes and screen goes black.

I tried to search for shorts, cold joints, only issue I have found was cold joint at Usb-c port, that is fixed now.

I think board may be broken, but laptop is visualy fine, nothing is damaged or indicating that it was dropped.


here's a video...
