Just bought a used Predator Helios 500, realized that it was shutting itself down randomly after about 5-10 minutes while on battery power. I did some research and realized that the RAM cover switch is completely missing! This is the little switch to the left of the RAM slots that lets the laptop know that the rear panel has been removed, causing my random shutdown issues. I have done a little research in order to try to locate a replacement switch, but I cannot find anything. Anybody familiar with this switch able to assist? Thank you.

    Or maybe the Helios 500 does not have one of these switches? The thread I was reading was for a Helios 300, and when I took the back cover off my 500, it looked like there was supposed to be a switch. After seeing a picture of another 500 with the rear cover off, there was no switch there either. I am so confused! Does anybody know if the Helios 500 has the RAM door switch? Thank you.
