    So I recently disassembled my m17x r2 to clean the gpu fan, which was very much needed. After reassembling, it started up just fine. Could hear fans going off. Except now it says it isn't detecting a power source and is now running off battery, which is now dead, and now my system won't start up.

    Help?
