Thanks for the ideas guys! The CPU is held in by a screw, not a socket. When i took the board out i never even bothered taking the CPU out of the motherboard. I doubt that's the problem

Hey guys i wanted to let you know i wasn't correct in my earlier post. The fans are NOT spinning. ONLY the HDD is making noise when the power button is pressed. I tried starting the laptop with it disassembled outside of the case in...
