Hello,
I got exactly the same problem with the same laptop.
Only for me it reboots without screen as soon as I tap next to the mouse pad .
The retrieve the screen , i need to remove power completely .
I dont think its linked to the harddrive because I experienced the same problem without harddrive .
Let me explain :
I removed the harddrive
I hit the powen button
Of course the PC did not boot but just powered on
I tapped next the mouse pad
I could notice exactly thesame reboot effect ...
Did U find something that fixes the pb ?
I suspect the DVD Drive ....
