My cpu fan was running very loudly nonstop and dusty so I removed the heatsink and did some light brushing and blew on it to get the dust out/off. After reconnecting everything I get nothing when I hit the power button. No lights, fans, noises - nothing. All I unplugged when I removed the heatsink was the cpu fan cable from the motherboard and the heatsink itself.
So I definitely screwed up and made some kind of mistake in my haste for a quieter fan. I'm not too savvy on these items so I don't know where to start troubleshooting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
