    Weird powering down

    Whenever my laptop gets disconnected from the power supply my laptop auto shut downs, and then it will only start up with the power connected to it or if I unplug the battery and put it back in. The battery is fine and it'll run on it for an hour and a half.

    I think this is a setting issue or something is faulty and I don't know what; any ideas?

    Always start with the old reliable power drain trick:

    * Turn off your M15x
    * Remove the battery
    * Disconnect the power cord
    * Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds
    * Replace the battery and connect the power cord
    * Start your M15x.
