M17X R2 Need help asap!

I just sold my laptop in amazon today. When I was ready to ship and double checking everything, a strange issue occured which I have never faced before. When I did a fresh install of windows and all the drivers, everything was ok las night. Today, in first boot, the laptop powered off itself while loading windows. When I tried turning it on, it was like if the power button was broken. So, when I took out the battery and started in AC only, it worked fine and after that I inserted battery. After 3-4 restarts, there was no issue but now, it happens 2/8 times where I need to take out the battery to make the power button functiona. Can anyone suggest me what can be done? I need to ship it by tomorrow at any cost.

Thanks

 

have you tried doing a full power discharge? That is, take out the battery, unplug the AC, then hold the power button down for 30 secs to discharge

 

I did tried that but hold the power button for 10 sec or so.
Do you think that could be the issue?

 

try it again...but this time, unplug AC, pull out battery, then hold power button down for 30 seconds. And while you are at it, reseat the ram and you may want to reseat the cmos battery. Sometimes you get weird behavior like this when the cmos battery is going bad. It costs $1 for that lithium battery at the dollar store, and it could save you a lot of headaches

 

Last time that happened to me, downloaded and installed drivers for my model, pulled batteries waited a minute, and reset bios to defaults before booting, changed to preferred after verifying success. btw, spradhan, you don't still have that old x7900 hanging around do you? new to this forum but found you in a cpu search.

 

Nops, I sold it a long time ago. Sorry about that.
