Replaced Fan... but now I can't get the mac to turn on

I replaced the fan this afternoon on my macbook air. I followed the Ifixit guide and I thought it went well..... but now the mac will not turn on. The charger is plugged in and the red light is on and the bottom is a little warm. I am about to open it again to recheck everything.

Is there a special start up that I need to do after the repair? Any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Which model of Macbook Air have you got? Please let us know the year by Googling the EMC number on the bottom.

You could have likely forgotten to connect a cable? I would especially check the display connector.
