This is the first time I'm seeing such a behavior. I have an HP Omen laptop and I thought I'll change the thermal paste it came with with KryoSheet. I open the laptop, disconnect the battery, remove the factory thermal paste (as usual they put too much of it), put two CryoSheets on, connect back the battery and try to turn it on. The laptop would not turn on. I though I've fried something (the KryoSheet is electro conductive). Tried a few more times with and without charger connected - won't turn on.
I tell myself I don't really need a gaming laptop. Put the bottom cover back on, so I don't loose the screws. Try to turn it on one last time and it does turn on. So my hypothesis is there is a sensor that detects if a bottom cover is attached and the laptop doesn't start without it. Does that make sense? Have you seen something similar on other laptops?
