I can plug in a USB stick with a Debian installer on it, and move around in the menus. As soon as I boot the system and the disk is accessed (?) the laptop shuts down. What the hell.

Here’s a video of how it looks when the laptop attempts to boot and crashes. Update on the current laptop situation: @deshipu opened it up, looked it over with the binoculars and applied the sysadmin touches and … and he found a lose screw wedged into a corner of the laptop's innards so that it wouldn't rattle and betray itself. We recovered the screw, located an empty place that looked like it might be missing a screw, put it all back together, and it worked! |
I wonder whether this is a borked (unintended) hibernation…
