Followed this to a T, wanted to clean up the MacBook and put new paste on, put back together and the MacBook will boot up but it stays on a black screen. It does flicker when I press the power button at first. I’ve tried reseating the lcd cable to no avail.

I have this Mac since 2008, do you think should I replace the thermal paste or not? Temperature in normal condition of use are about 60°
