The laptop shuts down upon relocation.
Hey there, I see you're dealing with a tricky issue with your laptop. When you shift it, insert cables, or accidentally bump into the ports, it tends to freeze and the screen goes dark. Moving the LAN cable usually restores the display but leaves it stuck. To get it running again, you have to power it down, shake it gently for a few minutes, then force shut it off and restart. After that, slowly reconnect all peripherals—monitor, mouse, keyboard, jacks, Ethernet—and try to avoid freezing it again.
You mentioned you're using an ASUS GL553VD with an I7 processor and a GTX 1050 graphics card, running on the original adapter. The machine is about six months old, and you're not covered by any warranty. It's working fine during normal use, even when gaming at full power. If you share photos or videos of the problem, it might help diagnose further.
If there are no loose wires inside the laptop and everything was put back together properly, then the issue might be a damaged or partially broken connection. This could cause only certain connections to work while the rest fail, making it hard to identify the exact problem without checking the motherboard closely.
You're wondering if it's best to take it somewhere else. Most folks will probably tell you the MB needs replacing, which isn't helpful because I only paid for the used one. Also, I noticed that when the laptop sleeps, it doesn't recover properly, and opening it at a steep angle or high brightness prevents booting. Based on what you said, how much do you think someone would charge for fixing this?
It seems best to bring it to a certified repair expert, because with such a recent model, there aren't many options left due to the compact design inside. Some fixes might work for the motherboard, but we're not sure yet. Double-check that all connections are secure and the power port is properly attached.
