Hi all, I come seeking ideas of what could be causing my problem:
I have a pretty good idea of what it could be/is, but I may be overlooking something very small.

So today, I completely took apart my laptop aside from the screen. I had three problems I was trying to fix:
1) the mousepad stopped responding
2) the dc power cable stopped responding
3) the screen hinge was broke

I was able to fix 1 and 2, and could have fixed 3 if I had a hinge.
I put the laptop back together and everything functions correctly as it should.
I put a little pressure beside the mousepad (both sides do it) and my laptop completely shuts off.
It's definitely not a problem with the hard drive because the whole laptop wouldn't shut off if it was faulty. My general idea of what's going on is: the circuit beneath the mousepad is getting shorted out. I must have put a longer screw in an incorrect spot or something and by doing this: pressure from top + mousepad area circuit touching screw = shorts it out.
Just looking to see what you guys think it could be? I'm rather positive it's what I stated above, but it's not a bad idea to get other's ideas of what it could possibly be.

What is the actual point of this stupid message? if you're going to post atleast post something helpful not useless.

Read it.
Reported it.
Didn't reply.

Most cases ive seen it in is the shortage or a loose wire maybe...

I had my beast of a laptop looked at multiple people and it had a short at first and randomly shutoff, now I suspect it is the motherboard as it doesn't even post sometimes now

I'm hoping mine is just a short somewhere. The motherboard for this laptop is more than my high end desktop motherboard... It'll be $175 to replace

$175 for a shittop motherboard that's when u rig the screen up to somthing and throw the rest of it away
