Hi,

I have a Sony Vaio VPCF12Z1E.

I took the computer apart today to clean the ventilation and the fan out of possible dust (there was tons gathered..), but now that I put it back togeather, it won't start up.

It keeps trying and trying with a few second intervals but the only thing that I can see happening is that the fan begins to spin and then stops, then begins to spin again to stop again, and it continues this way until I unplug the cord. Every time it begins to spin, the green light that indicates the computer is on gets turned on and then off pretty much immediately along with the fan.


I uploaded a youtube video where I show this and which will describe further what's going on and from where I hope it could get easier to troubleshoot.
