Changed internal fan on Toshiba Sat. now will not boot up....it starts the cd but nothing after get only black screen
Did you apply thermal compound when replcaing the fan?
no apparently missed that step......has this caused another problem
I shouldnt have, you either have a thermal pad or thermal paste under the fan/on top of the CPU. If it is paste, then i would suggest you buy some Artic Silver 5 and apply that. The purpose of this paste is to allow a good interface between the fan/heat sink and the cpu.
Correct method:

with any brand compound.You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Did you replace just the fan? Or did you remove & replace the heatsink w/fan?
Frequently removing the fan only is enough to disturb the heatsink cpu interface enough to break the seal. Especially with thermal epoxy or pad compounds.
replaced just the fan
Is it plugged into the correct connector? In the correct orientation?
Was it working before the fan was removed?You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
yes on all accounts.......cleaned heat sink area and applied Arctic silver as you suggested and computer is running again. It seems to be processing slow not sure if it is my service or internal
