My Acer e5 572g was running very hot lately and was throttling so I decided to clean the fan and the heat sink.

After reassembly the laptop does not start anymore - the led light flashes for 3-4 seconds, but the fan and hard drive don't start spinning.

I did not reapply thermal paste, but that shouldn't cause to no start I believe.

What could be the problem?

Try removing battery and charger and press and hold power button for 20 seconds then reattach battery and charger and power on. Not reapplying thermal paste isnt good idea, I'd do that and check adapter port is damaged.
