Laptop symptoms

[SKA]

I opened the panel underneath the fan to clean it and then I screwed it back on. After this when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't come on. I put the AC adaptor in and the little light came on but when I pressed the power button the light went back off. Then I took the battery out then put it back in and still nothing.
This happened last time it went in to the shop and the bloke opened it all up and I think he did something to the key board.
It's and E systems laptop, any help please?
TIA

I assume you removed the adapter allong with the battery?

if not ... do it again ... and leave it in bits 20 mins or so before you try again.

I'm not familiar with that machine .... but the ones I do see ... you don't need to unscrew or open anything .... just use a vac and suck the dust out of the vent ....

I did pull out the adaptor too!!

oh dear ....
what was in the panel?

trouble with laptops is the whole case gives it strength ... loosen 1 part ... the whole thing turns into a flexy toy ...and it doesn't take much for something like this to happen ...
(I once took a battey out of a machine...lifted it by a corner and the thing folded like a sheet of paper ...)

to be honest it sounds like a screwdriver job ...

whats a screwdriver job?
the panel was just under the fan so it wasn't really holding anything together!!

screwdriver job ... the mender man
sounds like something has worked loose .... needs a screwdriver

it's difficult when you can't see it .... but unless someone can come up with an idea ... it sounds to me as if the supply lead isn't connected any more
