I have had an Asus N550JV for 3 years now (Absolutely hate it). Ran into problems I could fix over the years but this one seems to take the cake.
The problem
When I start the laptop, it works, then after sometime (can be few minutes or hours), the screen goes off although with the screen lights still on, fans get louder and after around a minute, the laptop shuts down (charged or not).
I also noted that when the laptop is on low battery (say around 10%) and turned off so I can charge it, once turned on, it stops charging even though the laptop nor the charger were disturbed. I have to wiggle the charger to make it charge again (charger is dodgy but this seems to happen every time).
What I have tried
Changed thermal paste (Not overheating as heatsink, ram, hdd doesn't get hot when idle).
Monitored temperature and it was around 60+ idle, 85 degrees after Battlefield 1.
Re-flown motherboard (Baked it in the oven).
Re seated RAM.
Tried a different charger as current charger is a bit dodgy(wasn't done by me so not totally certain).
Got a new hard drive.
Cleaned the whole laptop.

(Sadly that is the way electronics work; no two, identical items are alike, e.g., binning).
