Laptop Problem - Don't even look at it

This is a weird one. My Dell laptop has started switching off when touched or moved. On the odd occasion it will freeze instead of shutting down.

Had a look online and some say it might be a connector on the motherboard loose or I need to clean any dust from inside.

Surprisingly I never get the your computer unexpectedly shut down screen when I start the computer again.

I'm backing up all my files to my desktop and external drives as I write.

Is the laptop a gonna? Any ideas.

No idea, but worth checking for bulging or a bubblegum smell if you do open the case up to clean it out.

Bubblegum can be any flavour, so specifically you should check for the smell of battery flavour bubblegum.

Just cleaned the fan with canned wind and took out and put back in the battery.

Waved the laptop around.

No problems.
