acer aspire v5-573g wont turn on sometimes

So i got acer aspire v5-573g and it worked fine, untill i gave laptop to my local computer hardware technician to upgrade ram and install ssd.. When i got back computer it worked fine for a month, than the problem started, over the night, before night- worked- in the morning it didnt work.. Now the problem is when i press on power button, the blue led lights  turn up for a second, and turns off, and if I try again there is no blue led diode turning on again.. It always fixes the problem if i remove the back cover and put it back, so im guessing there is like a switch in the back of a cover that does it or some sort of connection that gets disconnected.. I should also mention that when I turn off the system and turn it on like 5 min after it WILL WORK, but if I leave it turned off overnight it wont work at the morning, so im currently having it turned on for like 2 months now... Please help, and I currently cant give laptop to some hardware technician, becouse im abroad, and I cant currently send laptop back for warrienty becouse I bought it when I was in other state, becouse it was cheaper, and it just isnt an option right now.. Now i found a little switch on the motherboard that gets pressed when the backpanel is closed, and when its not connected laptop wont turn on, and if i press it when i removed backcover laptop WILL TURN ON, but im 100% sure there must be another trick to get it running, becouse i taped down the switch so there was 100% a connection and the problem appeared again .. .Otherwise im using windows 7 64bit, and laptop is about 4 months old so I would really like to get it going...Thanks for your help!           -John

    I've never heard of this problem. Sounds like the technician may have messes something up or did not hook something up properly. If they can't get it going for you, contact Acer and see if they can repair it. It sounds like a hardware problem to me.
