Asus vivobook x542un laptop not turning on.

Hey, 

Today i switched a hard drive to an ssd drive, and after this, the laptop is not turning on. Everything is plugged in properly, when i plug in the power cord, the indicator with a lightbulb flashes for like half a sec then nothing happens. Same happens if i press the power button, flashing for half a sec then nothing. Tried the good old technique of holding down the power button for 30 sec after removing the battery, it didnt work. It doesnt have cmos battery.

Its not working with the hdd either. 

Can somebody help me?

You might have shorted something out, sounds like an issue with the motherboard. Try reseating RAM and booting without any drive installed.

I reseated the ram, checked everything again. everything is pluged in. If i connect the power cord, it makes a litle ting noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8dYp-cKI2I, like in this video, but if i hit it nothing happens :D. I guess my problem is exactly what this guys problem is. And if you read the videos description, he did the same thing, inserted an ssd in. So thats why i dont think its a shorted out.
