i have a compaq presario cq50-107nr? i bought a cq 50 case because my old one was blah.. but when i screw the case together i plug the charger the light goes on but when i press the power the charging light goes off and the laptop doesn't turn on. if i unscrew the screws it will turn on like normal and work but if i move it or put pressure on the case it will shut off. please help? i been trying to fix this for months and i haven't found no solution.

Maybe its the case because i have a cq50-107nr and the case was a cq50-105nr but they look totally the same i even compared them inside out looks like nothing is different?

something is not the same between the cases and is pinching the board, most likely grounding out the motherboard on a metal shield.

you just have to look at every part on the motherboard when you put it in. look where the case might have some metal, at this point is trial and error to see where I might be hitting, check for any pinched wires anything. if you can try and post pictures to try and help out some more.
