[SOLVED] Dell XPS 9360 "ASF2 Force OFF"

[EliteMacx86]

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

Yes, the battery could be an issue. After all, this is happening on the Battery only. Also, have you tried to change the CMOS?

The CMOS battery was bad. Changed it but the issue is still happening

The next step is to change the Battery. I'll check the PR files soon.

I suspect if this indicates any hardware issue.

Also, as far as I remember, the last PR files you attached, had another set of files, which was not recommended by me. So, consider changing that.

Well right now it has been over a week that the laptop does not shutdown. Coincidently a week ago I recived and installed a bcm94360cs2 wireless card, I guess the unsupported wifi card was causing issues.
I'm not sure this is 100% the reason. I guess only time will tell us if this was the problem or not

Whoa, what WiFi Card were you using earlier? Unsupported cards do tend to create issues, like crashing but is interesting. Keep monitoring and report it accordingly.

I had a killer 1535 (the default 9360 wireless card). I kept it installed for a long time to use it on windows. Right now the broadcom card is working nicely in both os.

Keep monitoring and report it accordingly.

We'll see. It's strange that there wasn't even an error pointing out the wireless card or something related (like pci-e interface)

Yeah, yeah. Let's see. The thread will be open.

After almost 2 months of using it without problems I can safely say that the old wifi card was the issue.
