Hi Vincent,

When we meet again at the local hackerspace, can I sit behind the laptop in question for a while and run some tests?

Regards,

Hans

Dear Hans,

That would be excellent, but unfortunately I sold the laptop.
It was a HP Envy Beats laptop, if that helps.
Apologies for not being able to find the cause of the issue.
If I encounter this again, I will make sure I will keep the machine :).

Kind regards,
Vincent
