Any issue with the unit turning on or off while transporting in a laptop bag or backpack?

Haven't had that issue. I suppose it's possible, but unlikely, since the power button has to be depressed for a period of time. The power button is relatively well protected.

No, i have experienced no issues of that nature. Im a police officer so it spends alot of time banging around in the car and bags

there is an on and off switch and if u leave it on and turn your laptop off it will go off automatically and come back on when u turn ur laptop back on. Hope this helps

I honestly don't know. I can tell you that it seems to be noticeable when the unit becomes hot, which did not happen very much, maybe once or twice. I usually leave it plugged in with my MacBook Pro connected to it. I usually have it on almost 24 hours for weeks at a time (mobile office on wheels). I just keeps doing its job. Unit has never over heated, and I can't remember the last time I even noticed the fan, in fact its real quiet...

I leave mine in a bookbag and transport it every day, as well as plug into separate computers multiple times, and after a month or so, no issues so far.

I'm not typical...I use my laptop only occasionally and it stays plugged in most of the time. However, I did test the battery when it arrived and I got about 4 hours out it with light usage.

No problems so far but I would not use constant power to the unit due to constant battery drain. I would use a external power switch to control power.

When mine did that I turned it off and examined the unit. I cleaned out the loading wheel and chute, and turned it on again. Everything had to be reset.The same thing may happen if the battery is getting low and needs to be changed.

I have not had any trouble except changing the battery. As soon as I put the usb port in my computer.I was ready to go.I hope you find the out the issue soon.

I have also had this laptop a little over a year and haven't had an issue with my power cord. So far I haven't had any issues at all with it. It is good to know though if it is an issue that I can watch out for it now.

Yes love it!!! Use it on my laptop with no problems...I do remove one battery after using & leave it in top of pouch. Had problem in beginning thinking it was off & it wasn't. Removing the one battery corrects this problem

Not sure what problems you had but I have not experience any. Turn it on, it's on, turn it off, it's off.

It is possible to toggle charging off. There is a FN+ key combination (forgot which maybe Fn+F2 with the battery and the lightening bolt?) so you can, for example, plug your laptop in to, say, an airplane recepticle, without charging the battery which is apparently a safety concern.If this feature is 'on' and you replace the battery, no this will not fix the issue.

I've had mine for two months and it's almost always plugged in. So far, no problems.

You have to push in the button on the bottom of the unit to turn it on. Mine takes an effort so I doubt it would come on from being banged around in a backpack

I don't know. I have the laptop plugged in most of the time and only unplug it for travel or meetings. Never really kept track. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.
