Hi! So the situation is this; I originally opened up the laptop to fix a grinding fan. After solving that I forgot to secure the cable that allows me to turn on the laptop. I went back in, secured the cable, tested the machine to see if it boots and it did. Then after fastening all the screws in place, surprise, black screen. I'm almost 100% certain this is a hardware problem, but I don't know where to start. This is my roommates previous laptop and he had dropped it not too long after getting it, the right corner of the chassis is very damaged and the hinge that connects the screen to the chassis is busted and isn't secure. So when opening the screen it lifts on the corner so you have to push down on the right side of the screen to get it in place.
-Laptop has power, CD drive spins, HDD's make noise.
-USB does not power up mouse
-External monitor doesn't work.
-Sometimes after powering up it will restart itself
-Took the screen apart nothing is loose there.
