I've been using Haier laptop since 2015. Overall laptop is in stock condition, except for this one time when I replaced my laptop's battery in mid 2021.
Now here's the problem. Whenever I shut down my laptop, either intentionally and following proper steps, or it goes off by battery running out, it takes forever to boot again. The issue persists even if its compulsory/automatic restart after Windows or drivers update. When I press the power button, the screen stays black (not even grey, meaning by the LEDs in screen don't turn on). Even attaching external monitor wont show any activity. After a very very very long wait, the screen turns on (you can tell by a slight change in the colour of the previously dark screen). Immediately, the Intel / BIOS logo and boot menu buttons show up, and from there onwards it works completely fine (until you shut it down again).
Anyways, following are my (outdated) laptop's specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3-4010U
RAM: 4GB DDR-3 SODIMM (1600 MHz)
GPU: Integrated Intel HD Graphics
Motherboard: JWU (U3E1) by Quanta
BIOS: KQ 122 (Insyde Corp.)
DX Version: 11
Windows: 8.1 Pro (x64)
I never experienced this issue until end of 2024. I've checked for almost everything from hardware to software. I installed fresh Windows, updated old software and drivers, installed various "PC Health Checkup" softwares to look for possible faulty hardware or software, got my laptop serviced from inside, even checked cell (battery) installed on motherboard . In short, I've checked everything I can, searched internet, ChatGPT, youtube, but I found nothing useful. I couldn't even find someone else reporting this problem.
Problem is so severe that I cannot shut down my laptop, or else it takes 12 to 24 hours to boot up again. I put it to sleep before turning it on again. I've checked BIOS settings too. There are no pending updates and everything is at default settings.
If anyone knows root cause of this problem and its solution, please help me out.
