Did I kill my laptop?

Hello,

I have an Inspiron 1150. It shut off whenever tapped or moved...even if just repositioning for more comfort.

Found out it has a design flaw...

following is a quote:

In short, there is a design flaw between the motherboard and case. The
mini pci cover underneath (below DVD/CD drive) and labelled 'C' has
plastic tags in the centre and any pressure applied to the underside of
the case - for example when picking up the laptop by the front left
corner - causes this cover tab to press on a motherboard IC (chip) and
eventually fracture the solder connections or maybe damage the chip
itself.

See this site for the hundreds of people with the same problem. Much of
my info came from here.

Well, I completed this "FIX"

BUT Now when I try to turn on the computer, the cd/dvd whines and clicks, the power light goes on and off, but the system will NOT turn on.

dvd/cd...just continues to whine, fan run and the power lights flash....nothing else.
