I took apart an old PC and wanted to clean the fan and the heat sink (if that's what that metal thing is called) and the processor was glued to the sink, but I accidentally un-glued it, then put it back and now the PC won't start. It powers up and the CD ROM, mouse, keaybeard, etc. all blink, but nothing comes up on the screen, so I guess the processor it isn't working?

Not a biggy, but I want to know if I should keep trying to fix it or simply take the HD and use it with another PC?

The thing that got un-glued is square and has like hundred tiny pins, which go into another square thingy (on the motherboard) with a hundred tiny holes.... I might take a few pictures if I decide to take it apart one more time....
