Hi, im not sure if this is the right area or not but i think it is. my issue is. i have an acer aspire 5736z-4790 and i bought it a few years back ( 3 years roughly ) and it has worked without a single issue. i now have an issue with everytime i start the laptop up out of sleep mode it just shuts down. like i hit the start button and it starts up and i see the logon window then it just shuts down like i was holding down the power button till it force shutdown. now if the computer is off completely and i start it up it turns on and works fine, but if i close the lid and it goes into sleep mode the second i turn it on it shuts down. the power button isnt getting touched, the battery works fine ( doesnt hold a charge over an hour but it works) and the charger is plugged up and it works too. i cant figure this out. and advice would be much appreciated. and i am a tech savy person so regardless of the idea i want to hear it to try it no matter how hard. :D thanks

The battery could still be at fault.
If you cant borrow another to test it, your sort of stuck.
There is a reservoir of electrons ready to go in any battery known as the 'interface charge' (in lead acid cells~be called summat else in a lappy batt.)
In sleep mode, the system is bleeding off a small amount of power and when it starts up the V drop might be too hi to keep the cpu stable.
If it does it with the power plugged in its not so likely but still possible because the battery is in the circuit.

Well i do i agree it could be the battery and originally i thought it was because a small plastic piece came off of it by the metal connector where it plugs into the laptop so i took it out and tried it with just the laptop plugged in to the wall adapter and it still happened which left me out of ideas.
