Would the need for new thermal paste cause it to rattle? ...

I had tried reseting the BIOS by using the reset jumpers, by holding down the power and reset butons, removing the battery, nothing works. I have a dead computer. Did I kill the ...

My laptop is running Vista (Home Prem.). I used to have a battery icon in the tray by the clock, but it seems to be missing now. I did a Google search, and it said to right-click on the taskbar, go to 'Properties' and re-select the 'Battery' option. Mine is unchecked and is greyed-out. I did another search and found that I most likely have a 3rd-party app controlling the battery info, but...
