Sounds like some type of hardware failure, anything from the switch to the power supply (but probably not the hard drive). Unforunatley, with a laptop this isn't something you're likely to be able to repair yourself. I'd recommend a local computer shop.

P.S. We don't recommend you continue shaking your hard drive <_<
