    hmm, although having to completely rely on power cord is a hassle, I'm not willing to risk bricking the thing..lol

    Anyway, appreciate the attempt from you both..

  • I agree with jacke and I think you should update the bios. Sometimes only a bios upgrade will fix the power problems.

    Yes, both @egydiocoelho and I fully understand. BIOS updates should be considered as last-resort efforts to fix a stubborn issue like this. Only you can decide whether or not the hassle is worth the risk. If it was mine, I'd probably take the risk by having faith that AC mains power will stay on during the process, because I'd still be able to pull my personal files off the HDD from another machine if the process goes haywire anyway.

    hmm, for my laptop Aspire V5-473P, the Acer Download page shows various BIOS options. I researched the "Fix system sometime shutdown by PECI read fail in Win PE" fix and that seems to address the laptop just shutting down unexpectedly..

    Fortunately, my laptop doesn't do that..at least not yet :-/

    I'm gonna buy a bunch of power cords and set them up around the apt.

    I very rarely use this thing on the battery alone anyway....




  • Sometimes you need to risk a bios upgrade. I usually pray when I update the bios lol.
