After replacing the charging port on a pavilion laptop I'm getting system freezes and orphaned inodes showing up during reboot

Question

The time to failure is highly variable with the longest operating run being ~13 hours fsck never reports any problems and shutting down before a freeze happens produces a clean restart with no orphaned inodes in the startup sequence. one recovery check of the file system (esc f2 during boot) showed 1 damaged file but I can't get that to replicate. smartctl output to follow:

so what is the actual problem? Your system crashes sometimes now? Because you say everything is fine when you shut down normally, does that mean sometimes it shuts down abnormally? Sounds like a hardware issue then, if you recently replaced hardware. — Esther, Jun 29 '23 at 14:50
It is normal for filesystem errors to occur when a system crashes, the solution to this is not to let your system crash. What you need to fix is not the filesystem, but rather the system crashes. — Esther, Jun 29 '23 at 14:51

As @Esther noted, you better fix what cases dirty shutdowns first, because not all filesystem errors can be easily fixed by disk checking utilities ... You are lucky so far so don't wait until the inevitable happens. — Raffa, Jun 29 '23 at 14:57
Right I'm asking to find the cause of this error. There is no indication of anything wrong until the system freezes at which point its too late. The only symptom is some orphaned inodes and none of the logging or monitoring I've looked at claims there are any problems. The only change is the hardware that the charger plugs into and I can't find a software check for that. Are there suggestions for ways to learn about the the system crashes in ways that would allow them to be fixed? — noah healy, Jun 29 '23 at 15:12
