Do you see anything flashing?

I think your laptop is done for. You might have broken/fried something when you opened it up. You can try hooking up an external screen... But the fact that the Fan stops and the computer stays on... that's not a good sign.


I recently had the same problem.

Hmmm? Do you have another power adapter? Try using the laptop from another outlet...
If the computer is doing the same on battery, it is most likely a motherboard fault.
