no..i don't have any matter of fact to be honest i don't even know what that is...could that be causing it to not power back up at all cause i don't even get the lights above the keypad now.

Thermal paste is found between your CPU and the heat-sink/fan. You would need to remove the heat-sink to get to it.

No light meaning you get no power feeding in, in a simple term.

Taking in consideration that your notebook is at least over 1 year old, and full of dust inside, the replacement of the thermal paste will cut down the overheating of the notebook thus preventing it from heat-related shutdowns.

That we can be sure to be out of the way. Other issues, just have to go one by one and see.
