Laptop freezing

My laptop, an Asus A6000, freqently suffers total freezing. I've discovered that if I apply slight pressure an inch or two to the right of the trackpad it will instantly un-freeze. Sometimes after a few tries I can get it to 'stick' and it will stay unfrozen, other times i have to continue to type pressing on the case.
I gather this is some kind of shorting/earthing problem ?, and my question is can i fix this myself and is it likely to be straight forward ?.
I've built destktops before so not afraid of getting out the screwdriver, but i've never even seen the inside of a lappie.
Thx in advance
