Product: HP Elite x2 1012 G2 Tablet

Hello!

I recently opened my X2 to change the thermal paste and the SSD. I unplugged the battery while the laptop may have been running. When it was all done, I put it back together, and now it seems that it won't start.
When I press the power button, the led blinks 10 times amber, and then goes from white to amber 7 or 8 times.
Any clues what may have happened? As far as I'm concerned, I didn't touch anything I shouldn't have.

 

L.E. Can be closed.

 

For anyone that might stumble upon this, I opened the laptop again, and spent a while looking with a macro lens over the entire board. Seemed fine, so I cleaned the area surrounding the CPU with alcohol and a toothbrush, also cleaned all the connectors for battery, touchscreen, display, reassembled everything again, and it now works. Not sure what was wrong, i suppose dirt or bad connections.
