Laptop not booting

I tried to clean up my friends laptop but after I've disassembled and cleaned it; It no longer boots in fact it doesn't even show bios or anything.

The laptop is a Compaq CQ57. When I press power the only thing that happens is the Ethernet port blinks briefly. The speaker inside for booting never worked i don't think.

I don't know how to fix it. Can i get suggestions on the steps I should try.

Thanks. 🙂
I fixed it since.

You may have fried the mother board. I'm not sure.

You can retrieve data from the hard drive with a PATA or SATA to USB adapter.
