I am using a Dell precision 7520 laptop, everything was working normally until about a month ago, when suddenly my laptop suddenly shut down. I took it to the repair shop but the mechanic couldn't find the cause. That incident doesn't happen on a cyclical basis at all. Sometimes I open youtube in about 7 or 8 google chrome tabs and leave it not touching anything, the whole 5 or 6 hours the laptop is not damaged at all. Sometimes when I open youtube and just touch the keyboard or touchpad, it suddenly shuts down. Until today the laptop could not boot. I press the power button, it lights up, the screen shows the Dell logo and the keyboard light also comes on, but right after that, the Dell logo disappears and the keyboard light fades to completely off, the power indicator light blinks from green to yellow and then the heatsink fan hums and then shuts off. Please help me diagnose what is wrong with my laptop. Its model is intel core i7-7820HQ, 32GB ram, 256GB Samsung NVME ssd, M2200M VGA. Thank you everyone for reading.

Does this mean that the Thunderbolt 3 controller is already present on the motherboard? If so, can I have the input socket added?

But some keys are loose on the keyboard and I get random mouse clicks every few seconds, perhaps the trackpad, or with a wireless mouse plugged in. Just watching the screen, not touching it, if I leave the mouse pointer over anything that can be clicked on or selected, it will do that by itself after a few seconds.
