ThinkPad T430 suddenly powers off after some time
Hi,
My T430 suddenly powers off. It does not show any sort of warning, blue screen of death or anything else. It just powers off completly. And it does not turns on until the battery is removed and installed again. If it is running on AC power i.e without battery, the power cord has to be plugged out and again plugged in to make it work again.
The time interval to turn off is completely random, sometimes 1 min, 1 hour, 10 sec etc. And it can happen after boot, in bios or anywhere else.
I have confirmed that it is not a heating issue by running a stress test for more than an hour and it worked fine.
I have also tried changing RAM, removing HDD, removing ultrabay disk drive, but doing these does not produce any difference.
I have also tried pressing the power button for 60 sec, but does not make any difference.
Could be few possibilities.
Battery, Harddisk, RAM.
Check these 3.
Worst case scenario, the motherboard itself is dying. As these are the symptoms.

Motherboard dying?

Did you ever find a solution for this? My beloved X60 Tablet has been doing the same thing for the past few months. It isn't my main computer, but I keep it around for sentimental purposes . The only difference with my plight is the time, it's quite predictable, i.e. a few hours of continuous use before it powers off.

It's not Windows 10 because I’m running Linux Mint in a T430 and happens to me for first time since I have it. I bought it used from Amazon about 2 years ago. The only upgrade I did for it, is a new lenovo battery.
