Laptop Not Powering On Shortly After Replacing Screen

I had to replace the screen on a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite A55-A5114. It was a pretty quick and simple swap out, and I made sure not to touch any chips by hand during the process.

Before placing the plastic outer rim back on the laptop, I hit the power, and it turned on perfectly fine. As all looked good, and I could log into the laptop to the Desktop, I started clicking the black outer rim back into place. There was this one spot that just wouldn't click in at the bottom mid-right, so I pressed at it a few times. There were no chips behind there or anything that I saw in the replacement process.

I shut the laptop down, and turned it back on again. This time, we noticed that the outer rim was glowing a bit green as though there was too much pressure on the screen, so I clicked the black rim back off. As it was clicking off, the laptop shut down as though it lost all power suddenly. Pressing the power button is doing nothing. Plugging the laptop in, there isn't even any outer LEDs indicating that its being charged, when there usually would be.

My first thought was, "Oh no, I killed the mobo." But than I thought through it a little more, and realized that I didn't go anywhere or touch anything that should have caused that. At least, I'm pretty sure of that.

Anyone have any idea how to get this baby working again? If I can't get this laptop working again, my wife is gonna kill me.
