Following on from my previous issue with my laptop.

My friend has said that as it goes on and off when I knock it- it is something internal i.e. perhaps the graphics card.

What are my options?
Can I try to fix it? I do get it on now and again- so can I run something to do an internal check?

If it’s a case of taking it to PC world for them to look at for £100- its probably not worth it.

Thanks

does it happen when on batteries or mains?.

try a local independent PC shop if you've got one to look at the laptop.

yes- it happens when battery on mains,
dont have one aroundre that im aware of...

is this the original problem?

it's best to have somebody look at it, have a look in the local phone book for an independent PC shop

yes- this is the original problem.
i dont think its worth me getting it checked out- if it is something internal like the graphics card. prob just buy a new one.

it's worth getting it checked, it may be something simple a shop may charge about £20 to have a look and report back to you what's wrong.

where about in Britain are you?

Yes- you are right- if its £20.
I am in swindon.

just googling I found 2 around swindon give them a ring
