When I turn my laptop on and don't move it just rest it on a table or something it's fine, but every time I move it there's a strange vibrating noise / click noise and I see sparks coming out of the side.

Know what could of moved and cause this inside the laptop, or will it blow if it keeps doing it.

Turned it off for know, using my main computer don't want it blowing up in my face.

Probably a fan is dislocated and hitting an internal hardware, like the GFX card, RAM or HDD. If you're good with computers, open it up and relocate the fan, if not, take it to a service.

Alright, I'll talk to my dad about having a look, he's pretty good with stuff like this, otherwise I'll take it to PC World. Thanks.

What laptop/model do you have? It does sound like its going to stop working very soon but it could possibly be solved depending on whats causing it. I wouldnt use it right now myself too until its repaired.

Is it still under warranty/guarantee?

The laptop make is 'Advent' never had trouble with it before, says Wide screen TFT on bottom on the label if that means anything.

I would need to know the model number too, most of them have them somewhere on them.

What I would do is find out whether its under guarantee with PC World or Warranty with Advent or ask your parents if it was insured at all. If not then I would find out the model number, google for the service manual and look for others that have experienced the same thing and read about their solutions and try and fix it myself if I could, failing that Id take it into PC world or a computer shop for repair.

Alright thanks Michael, I'll talk to my dad if it's insured. Cheers for help.

Can also be if you have a cd in it. . . used to happen to my old laptop xD
So whenever I moved it while it had cd the clicking nois came.
Or it's the fan. . . I just hit mine when it does that.
Then again, I'm no good with electronics.

No CD in, could be the fan though.
