    If you repair computers then here are few ideas:

    1. When you opened, then you shorted some cable or wire and it turns off because of short circuit protection.

    2. Dead battery. Sometimes when your battery is dead or has some problems inside then it will shut off like this too. Try to remove a battery and use power supply only.

    3. Motherboard problem. Some capacitors on power lines got cracked or broken and has short circuit inside so it needs to be replaced.
