Help! My laptop just blipped off twice yeterday, but when I hit the power button the first time, it booted back up. Last night, it did it, but now it won't power on. Seems like there may be a short b/c it only goes crazy when I move it. Any ideas? tHanks!

sounds for all the world like a bad piece of hardware...you can try removing the battery and power cord, holding the power button down for 10 seconds, then reinserting the power cord, but I think it is more likely a motherboard death
