I would carry it in a bag sometimes to university and you would feel it randomly turn on with the fans whirringe.
I had this problem with XPS 13. It would turn on in my backpack and by the time I was at work, it would be hot like lava and almost dead battery.
My XPS 9570 is the opposite - sometimes it decides to just not turn on anymore. So I can press power on and nothing happens. Sometimes it will power on for a second and dies. I found that if I open it up, disconnect the battery, then try to power it on with charger connected it will sort of half power on, then I can turn it off, reconnect the battery and then power it on without charger and then connect the charger after it boots up. I have replaced the battery to a brand new Dell one, updated BIOS etc. still the same problem. Then it sometimes charge the battery sometimes it won't. I have replaced the charging port as well, didn't help. Bought new original Dell charger twice - worked for a couple of weeks and then laptop won't recognise it. It was the same thing with XPS 13 that it won't recognise the charger after a while. I had a box full of Dell chargers.
I read plenty of people have issues with XPS not powering on.
Imagine going to a meeting and then spending half an hour trying to turn laptop on.
It's definitely my last Dell product.
