Hello, 

I purhcased a Predator Helios 300 less than two months ago, and today I unplugged it when it had finished charging and was on full battery, and it turned off. I plugged it back in and used it for  awhile, and then when I unplugged it again, it turned off again. I have tried updating the drivers, but there are no available updates, and I have been researching, but I haven't found any solutions. PLease will someone advise me on how to fix this? Thank you.

    Hi @AuntyShrew

    It is sad to know that you are experiencing issue with battery on a less than 2 months old unit. As it is a electronic equipment, no one can judge that which goes bad at which time. 

    From the description shared, it seems to be battery issue and that need to be replaced. As it is new unit, obviously it should be under warranty. I recommend you to contact Acer Customer Care support in your region https://www.acer.com/worldwide/ and explain the issue. They should be able to guide you in getting this repaired.
