    Hi,

    since I opened my laptop (Acer 4820TG) to clean the fan, the laptop turns off immediately on two occasions:

    1) Sometime when I lift it from the table. However, by far not always. I can even "shake" it without anything happening.
    2) When it gets hot. At least I think that's the reason because it usually happens when the fan is on for a long time.

    Do these two points lead to anything that might be responsible that I could fix? Like e.g. a loose heat sensor?

    Thank you!

    There's not heat sensor that could be loose so this one is a no.

    I know it's annoying thing to do but I would disassemble it once more and then assemble again carefully- that tend to help on most occasions.

    Thanks! I already tried that but it didn't help. Anything particular I should look out for?
