Inspiron N4030 turning off after 20 seconds
My Inspiron N4030 is turning off exactly 20 seconds after I click the power button. It turns off when I try to boot to Windows or the BIOS or even when trying to boot from USB. It's always after 20 seconds. I tried doing diagnostics from the F12 menu. Still, when it is 20 seconds after pressing the power button it just turns off.
I haven't used it for over a year, so I cleaned the fans of the laptop. Still no change.

Hmm. If that's the case, I'm just gonna leave it. It's over 10 years old anyway.

It showed CMOS RTC power failure last day. So I've replaced the CMOS Battery. Still hopeless.
