My Laptop randomly shuts off while plugged in

This started about a month ago, has happened maybe 5 times? It will just shut off randomly, while plugged in. Lately the power cord has been really finicky, for instance when the computer shuts off, I'll unplug and restart, try to plug the power back in and it refused to charge. I then change power outlets in my room and it starts working again (sometimes). I'm wondering if this is an issue solely with the power cord, or some sort of issue with the computer itself? My computer is from about August 2011, Macbook pro 11". just about 15 minutes ago i picked up the computer to move it and it shut off. Thanks!

Okay, thank you for the quick response. What can I expect in terms of services/ fees? I'm under the impression it is still under warranty

  • Macbook Pro randomly shuts off WHILE plugged in

    I've heard this is a common problem--the random shut-downs--but usually users experience it while it's unplugged. My computer has recently started to shut down randomly while plugged in with seemingly no explanation. Any ideas?

    No, it can simply be while i'm logging in or just checking email..not doing much

  • HELP!!! My Satellite Series A215-S7444 Laptop Randomly Shuts Off!!

        I own a Satellite A215-S7444 and it will randomly shut off. Sometimes on good days it won't shut off at all while I might run it for many hours, but this is very rare. Most of the time I will be running it and it will shut off out of nowhere, I will turn it back on right away and it will power back on with all I was just doing lost in the process. It will again power down after I restart it after a couple of mins, and each time I restart it the random shutdown takes less and less time to shut off. When it gets to the point where I can't even power it on past the windows logo, I have to let it sit for a couple of hours to a day till I put it on again and it will let me use it for a while till it starts shutting down again. Every time it starts shutting down it's always in steps like (1st shutdown 30 min into use, 2nd shutdown 10min into use, 3rd shutdown 5min into use..... etc.) I downloaded a program to monitor if it's overheating when it shuts off and it's definitely not overheating. I checked the fan and cleaned it out, and it works fine and is clean. The shut off seems to happen mostly when I am trying to download or watch any video or movie files from the web. Usually when I try to watch one it is almost guaranteed to shut off shortly after, and I can be online for hours but as soon as I try to download or watch video it is a knockout punch for the laptop. I can repair myself and anything else that might need to be done or checked I just can't figure this mystery out. I do not want to take this in for repair because it is too expensive for them to tell me "figuratively speaking" that it was a $10 part and I have to pay $300 for labor, diagnostics, and repair when I could have done it myself for just the cost of the part. If I have no other choice then I will bring it in, but that is if there is no other choice. Please someone out there help me!!!!  

    same here. the only difference is that, it doesn't matter what i do such as just using microsoft word software, or just surfing the internet. It will eventually shut off by itself for only like 1 hour or less than 1 hour sometimes. I noticed that every time it shuts off, it's too hot where the fan is located. I don't know what's wrong with it because i don't have any knowledge about computers. All i know is that  it shuts off out of nowhere. Is this what you call overheating or something else?
    It pisses me off because i'm doing my homework or a paper and it will randomly shut off while i'm doing something important for school. And to the fact that i just bought this laptop 2 yrs ago, the problem started when this laptop was almost 1yr. like you, i don't want to spend a lot of money just for labor. And oh, also, it will shut off right away when i use USB ports. anything that i plug in the USB ports or any accessories such as ports from laptop to the tv. it shut offs right away and i couldn't turn it on right away. not unless i wait for like 2 hours or more? after 2 hours, i am able to use it for quite a bit only.  it frustrates me. 
    is this manufacturer's problem? or what? what should I do? Should i bring it to the computer repairer again? I brought this computer for many times already. 

  • Charger randomly stops working, laptop randomly shuts off

    5 months after I had this brand new laptop it crashed on me.  I wasn't able to retrieve anything and they ended up not knowing what went wrong and just reformatted my computer for me and gave it back.
    About a year later I'm having other issues.  The charger issue has been going on for a while now.  It will randomly just stop working.  It's not the battery because I plug in someone else's charger and it works just fine.  The little charging light will suddenly go off on mine and it will no longer charge - or sometimes when I plug it in to charge, it just does not light up and work.  I usually play around with it - unplug the charger from the outlet, unplut it from the adapter, take off the adapter, etc. wait around, etc. until it will finally work again.  I don't understand why it does that though.  There is no one thing that gets it to work again, it's just luck or whenever it feels like turning back on. (right now it is off and does not want to work)
    My other issue is that my laptop starting a month ago has suddenly started to shut down at random moments.  It never does that when it's just sitting in front of me.  It happens when I pick it up and then the hard drive does that little 'click' thing and then boom my screen is black.  It doesn't happen often.  There are plenty of other times I pick it up and it clicks and everything is fine.  It's not even a huge movement with my laptop.  The times when it shuts off were triggered by SMALL normal motions.  I'm simply lifting it up to move it somewhere else.  It's SOOOOO irritating.
    The two issues might possibly be related.  I have found that when the laptop just shuts off like that and it has been plugged in, the charger will all of a sudden stop working along with it!  Even if the laptop is shut off, the charger should still keep charging right?  But instead, the light for it also goes off and then I unplug and plug it back in and it doesn't go back on.
    I cannot say how annoying this is.  I thought Apple was supposed to be a really reliable brand but I've had so many issues with it.
    I will be going to the Apple store soon, but has anyone else experienced these problems??  And if so, I'd like to know what Apple did for you.
    Thanks!

  • CQ-56 LAPTOP RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF

    I purchased a used CQ-56 laptop, which had to be plugged in when used, previous owner had allegedy spilled water on keyboard rendering mousepad unusable. The laptop said the battery was bad, so I replaced it with one purchased from Amazon. Now, the computer will turn on but randomly shut off out of nowhere (happened with previous battery, but then I had gotten a error about the battery having low "whatever" and needing to be replaced). I would love to fix this laptop. As a college student, however, I need a reliable computer and if none of this troubleshooting works I will need to spend even more money purchasing a new one.

    Hello stressedcollege,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your used computer will randomly shut down, and it appears to be an issue with the battery. I'll go with that, and do my best to help!
    Before anything else, please try the steps I provided in this thread, as they will likely resolve the issue: Re: battery charging
    If not, please try Testing and Calibrating the Battery. You should be able to find out if the battery has any issues.
    If the battery appears to be fine, you can try to improve your battery performance. For more information on improving battery performance, please review the following document: Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista).
    Please let me know the results of your troubleshooting. Thanks!

  • MacBook Pro randomly shutting down, while plugged in

    My MacBook Pro has been randomly shutting down, while its plugged in and with full battery... I just replaced my battery a couple months ago so it isnt, or shouldnt be, a battery problem... anyone know whats going on?

    Same is happening to me. It's only doing it since updating to Leopard.

  • X200 - Randomly shuts off while closed.

    My X200 is out of warranty now (by a few months), and of course I'm starting to have my first issue. I will close the lid when I'm done working, and about 50-75% of the time when I go to reopen it later, it's completely shut off. The laptop isn't set to do that (it's set to go sleep when I close the lid). Sometimes it will sleep, and I can resume like I always have. But now the majority of the time, it's off. And its annoying as hell, because it takes a while for it to boot up.
    Any ideas?
    Windows 7 RC

    no other modifcations done, buttons are in great shape.

    not sure but do you have hibernate enabled in power settings. if you do disable it and see if that helps.  as to your taking awhile to boot up check in your bios and go into config, then memory and make sure that the extended memory test is disabled.  if that is enabled it will take a long time to boot up.

  • MBP randomly turns off while plugged in & on battery

    my MBP now randomly shuts down, at any time, regardless of the state the computer is in (at least 5 times a day) i often then have trouble actually getting it to boot, as it will shut off 7-10 times before it actually gets to the password area

    many more can be found on google.
    the battery was replaced under the recall.
    any ideas??
    Thanks,
    David

    I've had the same problem quite a while but finally found out today something useful. When I installed the iStat Pro widget, I started to wonder why the left fan showed 0 rpm. Then I also realized, that I haven't heard the bit noisy fan in a long time.
    The solution was easy. I opened the cover and using pressurized air cleaned all the dust off the fans and made sure the connectors were good. Now my MBP has been running 10 hours without any problems though yesterday only it shut down several times.
    So if your warranty is expired, just do the same before letting anyone sell you a new logic board or anything.

  • Macbook randomly shuts off while on battery power.

    I have a 13-inch Macbook, Late 2008 model, using iOS Mavericks. While on battery power, the laptop will randomly just turn completely off, despite still having plenty of battery power left. I know it's not a calibration issue where the battery is dead but appears to have charge left, since I'm able to turn the computer back on again and continue using it.
    Battery info:
    Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh): 606
      Fully Charged: No
      Charging: No
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 2609
      Health Information:
      Cycle Count: 157
      Condition: Service Battery
      Battery Installed: Yes

    First try the SMC reset appropriate for your model: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    The information you posted says "Condition: Service Battery" - that likely means you will need a new battery sooner, rather than later, especially if an SMC reset doesn't help the situation at all.
    In any case, when new, your battery likely had about 4400 mAh (milliAmphours) Full Charge Capacity.
    The Full Charge capacity is down to about 60% of original capacity 2600/4400
    A direct replacement from Apple is $129, installed.
    Any popular search engine will provide a list of less expensive suppliers, but I cannot recommend any, simply because I haven't used any non-Apple replacement batteries recently. My single experience with one lower-cost supplier for my polycarbonate 2007 MacBook (replaced in 2010) was that the cheaper battery needed to be replaced again within a year. Your mileage may vary.

  • My ipod has been acting weird like it has been shutting off while plugged in the charging noise and animation have not been playing and it isn't being recognized by any computer even after 3 different cables how do I fix this?

    PLZ Help I want to get my Ipod working again.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Lenovo u400 laptop randomly shuts off

    Occasionally the computer will shutoff randomly with no warnings as if the battery got somehow disconnected I think this might be some sort of hardware problem. is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Hi perrson22,
    Thanks for posting.
    Currently there is no BIOS release for the U400 as we have not had any major issues that require a BIOSES to be released. However it you case I would suggest you to update all the drivers listed in the support site and check for the changes. But for starters Update the Intel management firmware Engine first and check for the changes then also update the Lenovo Powermanagement.. Click on the link below to download the IME.

    hope this helps.

  • My 13inch MacBook Pro randomly shut off and won't turn on

    My 13 inch MacBook Pro will not turn on at all. It randomly shut off while I was using it and now it won't come back on. The light on the charger is faintly blinking... But it is no longer charging. I tried a different outlet, and a different MacBook charger... Nothing. The screen is completely black and none of buttons or keys are responsive. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it seems that it shut off not even one second after I connected my iPhone to it via USB. I guess I should include that this was the first time my iPhone was connected to my MacBook since upgrading to ios 6.0. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..

    jc1122,
    by “boot” I mean “use as the disk from which OS X will be run”. At the moment, all that is known is that your computer won’t start from its internal hard disk; my suggestion is to see whether it is able to start from your grey Mac OS X Install DVD, which is bootable (i.e. able to be used a disk from which OS X can be run).

  • IMac randomly shutting off

    We had a power failure recently and today the iMac G5 has been randomly shutting off while in operation, sleep, etc... (I realize the power failure might not have done anything but I am putting it in there for all details). Anyways, the iMac was attached to a surge protector during the power failure. Since then the iMac has been randomly shutting down and the time between each power on and random off has been decreasing each time to the point where it will only sustain for 3 mins. I have stopped attempting to turn it on and such. Here are the tests I have run:
    Trying a different power cable: false
    Trying different surge protector: false
    Trying different outlet on different circuit part: false
    Any help would be great
    -TM

    Took it into apple, they said from the first looks it did not look like a power supply problem so it could be anything... But the iMac is under repair

    I used to be a huge pc user, actually built them for a living for awhile. Got sick and tired of fixing them all the time and having friends call with issues almost everyday. So 3 months ago i made the switch and all i can say is that i dont regret it one bit. My imac has been great other than this issue i just reported.

If you are looking to make the switch i can garantee you wont regret it.
