I have an Acer aspire one d255e that won't boot.
a while ago i replaced a cracked screen and have had the connector of the screen come loose a couple times. today it happened after my wife used it and i told her i'd fix it when i got home.
i get home and check it out, started by popping the trim off and finding the connector halfway popped out, i pushed it back in not realizing that she had left the laptop powered on.
it turned off, and after plugging the screen in and putting it back together the computer won't turn on.
the power button either does nothing, or it will sometimes turn on for a few seconds and then shut back off. i've tried with the battery removed, and with the battery in and power cord removed. same results.
im pissed. im thinking it shorted out the motherboard or something, but i don't know how to check. unplug the ram and see if it beeps? any way of fixing something like that aside from replacing the MB?
EDIT: i've also tried starting it with the screen unplugged, same thing
