Re: Compaq keeps shutting off... PLEASE HELP

Okay, so I was able to take out the heat sink, blow it all out (though wasnt really too dirty), and put it back on (with compound applied between processor and heat sink). I also was able to get the RTC clip soldered back on and that is back where it was. (I was told this battery only is really necessary for clock/accessory use, is this true?)
Now my computer wont get any power. When i plug it in the "charging light up indicator" flashes color for like .5 second before just going dark as if its not plugged in. It wont turn on or anything. Any ideas on what might be going on here?! I made sure that everything was plugged back in.
