Laptop will not poweron.

So i was working on that PCG-V505EXP Sony vaio. I finally got the harddrive out and switched it out for one that works.

When i put the computer back together... It would not power on. Most of the time I can see the light turn on for 1-2 seconds and then it dies out. Sometimes i dont even get power! What the heck is going on. I need to get this computer to work. I made a promise...

I don't thinik it is the power Adapter since the power on light on the adapter still comes on. And the laptop turns on for 1 second. any ideas?

Any ideas would help.

Did you connect the Hard disk drive correctly?
Jumper it correctly if necessary?
It's a difficult problem to solve with just "I took it apart and when I put it back together it didn't turn on." type of thing.
You could check that the power supply area inside the notebook isn't damaged/disconnected in any way maybe.

I'm at a loss for what to tell you based on so little, and I didn't ever open up a Sony Vaio laptop much before, so I'm not really sure what to tell you.

Check HD install, check power supply output with meter, and then tell us what you find.
