Hi guys,

My laptop starts for some seconds (3-5) and then turns off, however it works fine if it is plugged in to charger, however, as soon as I unplug it from AC, about 3-5 secs later it turns off.
Not sure if it is a BIOS/CMOS related bug, because if I change the BIOS setup to "fast boot" (~2 secs only) it turns off after those 2 secs, but "normal boot" it takes a bit longer (3~5) secs.

The battery is full. This issue started to happen after a day I forgot to shutdown the laptop and the battery emptied completely. Next day I noticed that and I plugged to AC and after some minutes I turned the laptop on with the charged plugged in.As soon as I unplugged the charger 3 secs later the laptop turned off.

Laptop specs:
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U
- RAM 16GB
- Intel 520 SSD

Thanks in advance.

No I don't think so battery's especially in laptops if you leave it plugged in while not in use it will kill your battery. My grandmothers laptop cannot stay on for longer than 10 seconds without a plug because she leaves her's plugged in 24/7 weather its on or off.

Does that mean that a full discharge of the laptop's battery might fry it?

Ok, I'll try with another battery and will tell you later on.

Thanks in advance.
