You'll have to find what is shorting out when the screws are in. At worst it's a motherboard with a crack, at best you need to take it apart again and watch each step for issues.
I am trying to repair a laptop. It goes off after 2 seconds of starting up. But it works perfectly when the screws are not on but it does also go off when I press it down without the screws on?
