>i broke my pc today cleaning it
>when i turn it on everything powers up but it never starts, the only hint i got is that the mobo has a pair of little lights orange and red that say the dram and cpu are somehow having a problem
>ive tried reseating the ram in both one at a time each in all the slots, ive reseated gpu, ive also removed the battery hoping it was a bios issue all to no avail. is there anything else i should try? im (very apparently) not the best with hardware so im not confident i can successfully remove the cpu. is there anything else i can try?
when you were cleaning it, did you fuck with the CPU fan or cooling system at all?
did you mess with the thermal paste?

also, can you explain what u did when u were cleaning?

you could also post the motherboard model, and post pictures of the innards of the PC
they may be helpful

i soaked them in isopropyl alcohol

well alcohol can dissolve thermal paste
i still don't know if you have a laptop or desktop, but on basically every PC, there will be thermal paste between the CPU and fan/cooling system
if u dipped or soaked the motherboard, or otherwise used a whole lot of alcohol, it's possible the thermal paste was dissolved
that would certainly stop it from booting, but it can be fixed

IF the thermal paste was dissolved, worst case scenario is the CPU burnt out/overheated, this can happen within 10 seconds if there's no thermal paste at all

but u can still replace the CPU and keep the rest of the PC, u don't have to throw it out or anything
however, on many laptops, it's practically impossible to replace the CPU
