A safety interlock switch SWG1 located near the RAM modules is not being pressed hard enough by the bottom cover. Tighten screws on bottom cover. If that doesn't work, you must remove bottom cover and tape spacer inside cover so it presses harder against the switch.

Hi Paradox41,

Try to do power drain,

1. Shutdown the unit.
2. Unplug the cables connected to the unit.
3. At bottom of the unit there will be a small tiny pin hole with a battery symbol close to it. Take a pin or a paper clip insert into it you feels like pressing a button hold it for 20-30 seconds. ​
