Laptop doesn't do anything

Hi all,

So I have an MSI GP62M-7RD Leopard laptop (https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GP62M-7RD-Leopard) and it worked fine.

The other day I opened it up and removed the dust, replaced the thermal paste etcetera (I also had the CMOS battery removed for a few minutes and got the RAM out and back in if that matters) . When I started it up it took a while (like 40 seconds) and it went a few times through the boot process I think, but eventually it all started and worked perfectly (I think even better because I cleared the CMOS).

I shut it down the regular way via Windows, however when I tried to boot it again a few minutes later (I only put the screws back in in the meantime, did not touch the insides of the laptop) and it just didn't do anything. I had power and battery of course connected but it didn't react to the power button in any way. I have tried some things, like disconnecting the power and battery and pressed the power button for 60+ seconds. Did this a few times with CMOS battery connected as well as disconnected, but it doesn't do a thing. I'm scared I accidentally burned a fuse or anything...

Anyone has any idea what it could be or what I can do?

Thanks in advance
