My Acer Nitro 5 An515-57-5700 does not turn on after opening the back.
My model number is the An515-57-5700
I wanted to clean my CPU and GPU fans, so I turn off my laptop unplugged the charger and opened the back and removed the fan screws and unplugged the cables connected to them and removed a lot of dust buildup, connected the wires. I did not unplug the battery before doing this and when I put the case back on and pressed the power button nothing happened. Whenever I plug in the charger and hold the power button the charger light comes on and if I hold the power button for a few seconds then power light will come on and after a few seconds they go off, sometimes the charger light will stay on until I hold the power button. I'm now noticing a faint beeping sound near the GPU fan or somewhere on the board. I have tried many different methods of getting the laptop to turn on and none of them have worked however I have not tried to do anything with the SSD like removing it yet. If anyone can help that would be much appreciated.

Not removing the battery was a mistake, common sense tells us to always disconnect all power, including batteries, when opening electrical appliances for your own personal safety and for causing stray currents on the motherboard by touching components/diodes and by unplugging connections (fans). Check the RAM modules if they are seated properly but other than that I recommend bringing the laptop to Acer Services in your country.
