Aspire E 15: full battery on sleep w/ airplane mode dies during night all of a sudden(Model: EG 523G

Model: EG 523G 958X

As above. Woke up to laptiop being dead after being fully charged last night and put on airplane mode and it has died in 7 hours while on sleep. I do this every night and today it is dead AND the clock has changed time as well. Woke up at 8am and the clock says 12:30am.

Acer are wild. So many issues. Random, arbitrary and confusing.

Can someone please explain why this has happened. I am not even mad any more, Acer. I admit I shouldn't have bought you. I have left enough reviews over the web to warn others. I just blame myself. But for the life of me. Just tell me why the time changed and the laptop died.

And, Acer, if you have time, please explain why my number lock on my keypad switches off and on depending on how the laptop feels. Like, I switch it on, then it switches off when I close laptop. But sometimes. It stays on and doesn't switch off. I really need that explained.

Severals ways to turn on airplane mode. How do you usually turn it on? As for the numlock, make sure the lid open resume option is enabled in the BIOS main tab. Jack E/NJ

You've not understood what I wrote.

I put laptop on airplane mode. I then put laptop to sleep. With full battery (not charging). When I wake up 7 hours later the battery is dead and so is the laptop.

>>>I put laptop on airplane mode.>>>

Yes, I understood. But how did you enable airplane mode? Did you use the FN+F3 combo? Did you use Settings? Jack E/NJ

I clicked the WIFI icon and enabled it from there. I don't know another way.

Next time you do this, click the wifi connection and disconnect it instead. Or use the FN+F3 toggle key combo if available which also disables bluetooth. Airplane mode usually but doesn't always shut off all wireless functions. Also, for good measure, Control Panel's 'change what the power buttons do' app, should be set to sleep for ALL functions. Then use the power button to shut wifi & BT off and put everything else to sleep. I suspect, because of the time anamoly, either a bluetooth function was somehow inadvertently turned on or the airplane mode button really didn't take. I've seen stranger things happen than this in Win10.

No matter what I do, it dies overnight. Classic!

I can leave a 6 year old ACER laptop in my work from Friday to Monday, with full battery, unplugged abd on airplane mode and it STILL doesn't die.

But my new piece of trash dies in less time.

ACER are just the most erratic laptops and I'll never, ever buy again.

To check if the battery is self-discharging, try shutting the system completely off and unplugged overnight. Does it still die or not? If yes, then you need a new battery. If not, and you've tried everything else, disable your router overnight to see if somehow being network triggered. Jack E/NJ
