All i did was take it apart for cleaning, cleaned a lot of dust, put it all back together and it wont boot!

The screen now wont come on and i cant hear any activity from the hard disk at all, but i didnt take that out anwyay as i couldnt really get to it bcos there was something catching the chassis on that side so i left that, i took the heatsink and cpu off, i took another heat sink off that i think was over something to do with the gfx and now it just wont boot.

The screen wont come on at all, at first the computer started for 2 seconds and went off, thought it was power so i plugged in the power but still nothing, i dont know what to do now and im annoyed as i paid £300 second hand on the bay so i cant even get it repaired for free under guarantee.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

James.
 
fried up? whys that? the heatsink was on before i started it up i made sure of that one.

its gone quiet like its on standby.. and i press the off button and its straight off like its in post boot or something..
 
you know when you turn the laptop on and you get the 1st phase of boot? Whwre you can enter bios etc, well wen you press the off button in that phase the comp goes straight off right?

Well on my laptop its turning straight off like its in that phase, i press the button and instant reaction, cut of power.

Now, i think that its not booting properly therefore not sending power to my screen of other parts, how do i fix that?!
 
Welllllll, i took most of it apart to get all the dust up, when putting it back together i fogot to open the port for the cpu, a little screw loosened the port...

I forgot about this and just put the cpu on top and then the heatsink...

Well!!! When i figured it out, i put it back together and it worked, shocking eh.

Annoying but atleast its working now eh! Muppet i am.
