Solve : Laptop Shuts Off When Moved...?

Answer»

Yesterday my laptop (Gateway 4530GZ) started shutting off when I MOVE it, say from my lap to a table top. It doesn't shut down... the screen just goes blank as if the power plug had been suddently pulled. When I hit the power button it turns back on and restarts.

On other ocassions the screen will just freeze. I can't move the cursor and ctrl alt del does nothing. In that case I have to turn off the power by holding the power button for about 15 seconds. It then reboots normally.

The BATTERY SEEMS to be holding a charge just fine. I normally keep the power plug in and that seems SECURE. I'm concerned that something internal is loose or broken. Anybody have any ideas about what I might look at before taking it to a repair shop?

ThanksCheck for loose connection or power jack problem.
