Long story short I replaced a trackpad for one of our employees, and now the laptop won’t stay on. When I go to turn it on, it will turn on for a few seconds with fans running and everything, the screen will flicker for a brief second then will shut off. Here is the list of steps I already tried. I tried reseating all components. I cleaned the fans. I reseated the processor (yes with new TP). I tested with new CMOS. I changed the battery. I tried without a battery while being plugged in. The only thing that I could possibly think it would be is a short on the motherboard. I do not want to buy a kit for testing and fixing this unless I am at least 90% sure that is the issue. Every other site I post on just tells me to troubleshoot the battery and charging port, but honestly I do not think that is what this is. Thank you I fixit. PS I love the kit I just bought :)
