This has been happening for the past few weeks. It doesn't immediately turn off when I unplug it, only after I pick it up or move it. It also doesn't happen every time, just once every 2 or 3 days. The battery doesn't seem to be the issue, since the laptop works fine unplugged for an extended period as long as I don't move it.
I opened the case to check the connection between the battery and the motherboard, which doesn't appear to be loose. Didn't see anything else amiss that could be causing the problem. I used compressed air to try to clean out anything loose.
Another thing I noticed is that it would often turn off after gripping the back of the laptop where the battery is. I started grabbing it from the front, which causes it to happen a bit less often. Also, I can hear a kind of whirring noise coming from near the battery when I rotate the laptop back and forth, but it only lasts for a few seconds.
The laptop is an Acer Aspire E15. I took a few pictures of the connection between the battery and the motherboard, but I don't see anything obviously damaged.
