Laptop not booting after heat-sink fan cleaning

My laptop was overheating and fan was running constantly, so I took it apart to clean the heat-sink fan which was completely clogged up. This is not the first time I have done this task, but this time my laptop won't boot after I installed the fan back to the place. Now when I try to turn on my laptop, heat-sink fan comes on and the lights come up, but no BIOS or anything on the monitor. Can't figure out the reason behind this problem. Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks in advance.

I'd check how many lights come on and which ones, and depending on what brand of laptop you have, the website might provide information on why those certain lights turned on
