Well that was a stupid answer. There may be more knowledgeable people than
you using this site and may know of an answer. So I suggest do not answer
questions just for the sake of it.
I understand it is not a XP problem but there is the chance someone has an
idea where I start looking to be able to fix the problem.
I do have some understanding of the repair of computers
I have already tried Fuitsu Siemens and they want me to send the computer
to them and there is a charge even if they cannot repair it. Which at this
stage I am not prepared to do.
If the processor is overheating, the computer may use that as a reason to
shut off. That is caused by a signal called THERMTRIP on some processors.
There may be other reasons for the BIOS to shut the computer off,
such as not detecting an RPM signal from a cooling fan. Other than
that, I don't know of any other reasons why the BIOS would do
something like that.
In terms of electrical loading, I also don't know how a broken LCD
panel would respond. As far as I know, there is no feedback path
from the panel to the main part of the laptop, so the laptop doesn't
know the panel is broken. Some panels have more than just the LCD
screen, and may have a web camera or the radio antenna for the WiFi,
so those are examples of other subsystems that can be housed in the
panel.
