Hi-Grades are notorious for loose connections. We had a few where if
you moved the laptop in a certain way it would power off as the
battery backup was off and moving across the motherboard.

Best bet is to poke around for someone electrically minded on the
local lists, as a computer shop would charge you £100 just for looking
at it. I've done a similar laptop repair for a friend in the past but
i'd rather avoid doing it again :)
