hey...i have an Inspiron 2200 laptop that wont boot. when you press the power button, the 3 lock leds stay solid for a few seconds before the laptop turns off again. The Hd Led does not turn on. it happens that when i squeeze the area below the mousepad (above the hard drive area), it boots successfully, then if i adjust the screen angle any bit, it shuts off again. i already tried a different hard drive, reseting, disabling the touchpad...no avail...

It sounds like you have a bad contact. You either need to open it up and examine it closely or you need to take it to a profession which wont be cheap.
