Toshiba not working after cleaning :(

I just tried to open my toshiba satellite L670 to clean the fan and stop it from over heating.... Anyway didnt realize I needed a smaller screwdriver for just 3 weird screws (why the fek toshiba put in these 3 screws that require a different driver I dont know). Anyway, after 30 minutes of taking out 20-30 screws, keyboard, memory, hdd, bla bla I was stuck so I put it all back together.

Then I tried to turn it on. It seemed to power up, I could hear the harddisk and other stuff working but the screen was completely dead, then after about 15-30 seconds the fan blows very hard for a second and it shut off....

Any idea what this could be? My only guess is I accidently unplugged something when I was trying to get the case open? I will try to get the smaller screwdriver tomorrow to continue the job but Im a bit worried what could be the problem. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
 
You may have unhooked the screen cable. You will have to thoroughly check inside for any loose cables. Did you remove the heatsink at all?
 
I thought that at first but then why would it shut down? Shouldnt it still run without a screen?

I never got to the heat sink, although I try try poking at it through the small hole with my brush to try get at least some of the dust off.
 
So memory is seated correctly? Honestly I can't think of much else that'd cause a problem unless the board got damaged during disassembly. Were you prying at anything? Toshiba's are normally rather easy to disassemble.
