How to Take a Levovo Thinkpad Edge Apart an Put It Back Together Again

So one day I open up my laptop after around two nights of not using it I believe I left it in sleep mode because thats what I normally do. So i press the power button confused as to why it hasnt just went straight to the lock screen already. I press the power button and now i can't remember if it was plugged in or not but when i pressed power button, it would switch on and the lights would come on for about 4 or five seconds and then everything would switch off again only to power up again for about four or five seconds and then switch off again and it would continue this but I never tested for how long because I was in dismay as to why my laptop wasn't working and felt like the god of technolgy had cursed me.

The first thing i decided to do was to take apart the laptop and put it back together again frantically. I unplugged everything that could be unplugged and and even took the motherboard out to see what was underneath. So after I put it back together, something changed I'm not sure what, but instead of just turning off and on again over and over. The power light blinked three times when I plugged it in and when I pressed the power button the power button would stay on.

Im not sure what three blinks mean but I know that it is normally associated with the battery draining when left in sleep for too long. I have tried unplugging the cmos with and without the internal battery plugged in but it never made a difference.

So some things about my laptop, it is supervisor locked and I wish there was a way around that but thats just the way it is. And when I plug it in the power button blinks three times. I then press the power button and then sometimes the three lights around f1, f4 and fn light up for around .7 of a second and then switch off. but it only does this the first time i try after plugging it in and watched in despair the three blinks on the power button. Across all the times when I try to power it on the fan runs for about five seconds and then goes off, the power button stays on until i decide that enough is enough and switch it off. To switch it off just pressing it once like normal does nothing, i need to hold it down for exactly a second for the light to switch off. One thing peculiar that i noticed is that when I hold the power button for second at the same time the power light goes off, I can hear a faint tick coming from the speakers. I dont know if that tells you anything.
Another thing I notice is that when i switch it off the tone of the blank screen changes ever so slightly although i'm not sure wether or not my eyes are deceiving me, it happens again when I switch it off again though.

One thing I noticed about the laptop that is different or potentially broken although I am not sure whether it makes a difference and I have no clue as to how it happened is that there is an enclosure underneath some connection to the screen on the left to the right of the ethernet port where the cover is broken and the multiple little coils are sitting there exposed. When I pulled the tape off because it was peeling off the broken bit of enclosure came off as well , I will attach picture.

So yea here I am in depair over my precious laptop, I just hope that there is nothing serious , is there anyway of checking with the multimeter or whatever if the motherboard has fried itself but i doubt thats the case.
