Today I wanted to clean up my work laptop because it is used in the back of a box van and lives in a very dusty and dirty environment.

To start out I powered it down, unplugged the wall power and then took out the battery.
Next I remover the hard drive and the DVD drive.
I then blew out the computer with an air can made for cleaning computers. I then put it all back together in reverse order and tried to boot it up.

The power comes on and I can here fans blowing but it will not boot up. The power lights are on but the hard drive light is not.
The laptop is a Panasonic toughbook CF-52
please help
