maybe -- maybe not. not everyone can express the subtlity of what works vs what fails and when.
Let's see if there's a follow-up with more clarity.
jodipicoultfan: Please excuse the levity; sometimes with DECADES of experience we can loose empathy with new users and their attempts to explain their dire conditions. Sometimes we only get "it's broken" as a description and we spin off into Jupiter without considering the impact on the one with the symptom.
PLEASE TRY AGAIN with more specific details:
eg: Laptop, battery operation, running in vehicle and moved to in-doors
(how? close the lid, hibernate vs stand-by) shutdown when in-doors
(again, what changed? open lid, restart from hibernate vs stand-by)
explain the failure to boot: how was the system stopped? normal or your
'auto-shutdown-by-relocation'
what happens when you hit the power-on: nothing at all? partial startup
and then termination; how, what was last seen.
give us something to work with.
