Not sure how many people are having this issue... but I've tried to bring it up to Acer support on numerous occasions and they refuse to believe it is anything more than my individual device acting up, even though I have now witnessed it on 3 separate Nitro 5 laptops, both the AMD and the Intel Models. Apparently if you bring anything magnetic anywhere near the area of the keyboard/hand rest area just to the left of the track pad (picture the spot where the Oculus Ready sticker is) it will cause the screen to go black, and if left there for more than a split second it will cause the unit to power down. I discovered this when trying to use my laptop for work related activities and the magnetic clasp on my smart watch band slid over the location in question. Instantly my nitro 5 (the Intel Model) powered down. I first assumed I was an **** and didn't have enough battery... and somehow missed the low battery warning... but even then it seemed odd. I went ahead and booted it back up... still had more than 90% battery, and went back to work... again same issue. I have since tested this on my wife's Nitro 5 (AMD Model) and the same issue occurred. I also tried this on a demo laptop at a local big box electronics store and again... same issue.
I'm not sure how to get Acer to listen to this issue.
Any help is appreciated
