I was replacing the screen on my Lenovo X201 laptop when I made an error of some sort.
After installing the new screen and while the laptop was still disassembled I thought I'd plug it in (charger not battery) and see if it worked before putting it all back together. There was immediately a very loud screeching noise. I honestly don't know if it sounded like it was from the speakers or not as it was a few months ago now. There was no smell of burning though and the MB looks OK.
I reassembled the laptop and this is its condition now:
Any ideas where to start bearing in mind I know nothing at all about hardware?

I reassembled the laptop and this is its condition now:
- New screen doesn't work
- VGA doesn't work (it did before I tried replacing the screen).
- It will boot OK and I can access it through RDP (luckily I'd enabled remote access before breaking the screen).
- BOIS can't see temperature sensors so fans never power up. To work around this I downloaded TPFanControl and set the fans to run continuously at maximum. TPFanControl can't see the temperatures but Speccy and HWMonitor can and the temperatures are OK. Fan speed is not shown in HWMonitor but I can feel the hot air being blown out.
- There is an intermittent whining noise (which could be the fan).
- It will run fine for 15 - 45 minutes and then just shut down. I've booted it probably 100 times and it always shuts itself down within this timeframe. Never earlier or later. There is no warning and it is not related to temperature or whether I'm doing anything on it at all (see picture below of last shutdown - it was only ~60 degrees).
Any ideas where to start bearing in mind I know nothing at all about hardware?
