"seemed to be overheating "cos it felt red hot"..."

Based upon your description, the motherbard may indeed be "cooked".

However, it may also be that you've dislodged something when you replaced the fan/heatsink assembly.

Did you clean the CPU chip surface and apply ~NEW~ thermal compound?

Double-check ~all~ cable etc connections.

thanks for the reply dan but amazingly a got up this morning turned on the laptop and it worked it's running a bit slow but it's working. cheers
