Does not turn on but blinks

Just replaced screen which was pretty simple via YouTube clip. Double checked connections. Worked fine then after about 20 min it powered off. Now power light only blinks. Haven't used a battery for over a year because it's no good only used power cord. I tested the cord with a flusk 36 meter works fine at 19.4 volts. Tested inside connector from board to power...works fine 19.4...still blinking. Any help would be greatly appreciated...thks.

PS....laptop had not been used in over 9 months.

An easy and inexpensive thing to try is to replace the CMOS battery. It's likely time to do that anyway. A dead CMOS battery can make a computer appear to be dead - this happened to me. When I replaced the CMOS battery, the computer came back to life.

If that doesn't fix it, you've lost only about $5. And you probably should have replaced it anyway, even though replacing it didn't fix this particular issue.
