Q: Macbook Pro turns off when I pick it up

I figured as much but I've checked it twice already it seems to be snug. Is there possibly something else?

It's a Newertech. Apple no longer sells batteries for this model so the Genius Bar told me when I took it to them. I don't trust paying $150.00+ online because they can make batteries that look authentic yet are nothing more than junk. The local repair guy told me to go with Newertech so I purchased that.

I'll look inside again and see what I might have missed.

They won't touch it. Said it was on the discontinued support list. ? IDK

No big deal because I would've had to pay about $200.00 if they fixed it.

Well I'm missing the longer screw that holds the battery down by the edge. Could that cause the problem? it does move slightly.

It was the cable that goes from the headphone jack to the board. It is shorted out so I pulled the tab up and tucked it away and now it works. I'll just have to use bluetooth headphones or usb

Thanks for your help
