I have a problem that I think some of you might find newbish.
My labtop is being a real hassle to turn on. No indicator lights would come on when it's plugged into the wall, and nothing would happen when I press the power button. The battery won't power the labtop on in this condition either.
However, this all changes when I take my labtop from it's side and hit it against a table with moderate force. When I do this, I can power up the labtop normally and the AC power LED's and etc... all show.
When I disconect everything from my labtop and move it to a different location, I have the same problem and I can't power it on. Oh also, if I tap the labtop while it's on, it has a small chance of shutting off.
I have seen guides that instruct how to open up my labtop. I'm confident I can get it open by following the instructions.
Does anyone have any suggestions to what I should be looking for or any theories to what the problem is? My warranty has expired and E-machines thinks that my motherboard is fried and wants to charge me 244$ to replace it. I told them the exact same story i'm telling you guys....

(Seems the if it's a crack on your mobo, that might be somewhat counter productive).
