[SOLVED] Dell XPS 9360 "ASF2 Force OFF"

[EliteMacx86]

Well this is what I'm trying to figure out. As macOS is shutting down only when it's powered by battery I do belive that the cmos battery is charged only by the AC adapter.

It could be likely possible, or even by both or the internal battery itself. You can try checking the schematic. However, if you don't need much detail, try to replace the CMOS and then check. On Battery, if the Laptop is shutting down, there could be some possible shorting via MOSFETs or the Charging IC itself.

Well but if there was some kind of short the laptop would have shutted down even on windows. Maybe after startup the rtc clock resetted and macOS didn't handle this properly while windows doesn't care

A shorting can bring several results.

Could be possible.

I'm really starting to give up. Problem keeps happening. It's so frastuating because it presents it self on random periods, yesterday and today morning it didn't happen. Today afternnon the problem came back.

By seeing my last wrong assumtions I cannot say something for sure but I suspect it's still something related with the rtc and this something is happening during the login phase.

Can you provide a video? and the PR files?

Can you provide a video?

Pretty much the same thing happening in the video I posted not that long ago.

PR files?

I'm gonna later attach ioreg, pci report, diagnostic report and efi folder. I think it might be useful also using the debug version of opencore to get more in-depth informations? What do you think?
Also if this problem keeps happening I could consider trying clover to see if the same problem is happening with a different bootloader

I would need two videos. One with the Windows at first, where you start on battery, connect AC Adapter, disconnect, shut down, restart and booting back to Windows. Then the same for Mac.

No, that's not required.

In both the process, the Laptop seems to be working fine. So, what's the issue you kept mentioning?

Only in macOS the laptop shuts down after login while on battery, this happens sometimes but not always. In the video I was lucky and it didn't shutdown. Anyway I think I'm gonna try to but an OEM battery on amazon, if it keeps happening I could send it back anyways
