My HP DV6z 7000 was getting a bit warm so I took it apart to clean out. I cleared out the dust from the heatsink and fan, and reapplied the tim. After getting it all back together, I powered it on and was greeted with a flashing caps lock LED telling me the CPU was no longer working. How can I troubleshoot the laptop to make sure the CPU is in fact dead, and that it's not just a loose wire or something? I just want to make sure it's really dead before I run off an order a replacement.
