Hi guys...

Opened my laptop up do to a little spring dusting
Took everything off the back to air spray

Put everything back as usual, done this a few times before.

Now it does not start up, fans come on and lights flash (see pictures). No boot up screen at all totally black.

Left on charge for half an hour and tried all the usual buttons...

Clevo W370ST

Any advice please.
Thank you in advance

Check that you haven’t dislodged the hard drive or the RAM sticks.
Did you just use compressed air or did you use any vacuum cleaner?

My thoughts exactly. If you used compressed air was it low pressure air specifically for cleaning computers? High pressure compressed air will freeze components on contact and destroy them, it also turns plastic brittle. I know this from personal experience in the past.
