I have an E-machine laptop (m5312) and recently it wouldnt turn on. I found that by banging the bottom of it, it would start, but would turn off after 30 seconds - 1 hour. The screen would simply go black (although the power button was still lit) and to turn it on again, I would have to turn off the power, rap it on the bottom, and power up again.

Any ideas?
