If all you did was take out the hard drive, begin by taking out the hard drive and see if you can get into the BIOS. It is possible that you didn't connect it back properly and a connector is loose, but it is also possible you touched an electronic component and damaged it with static.

How much time did you wait .Dell Vostro computers have a little bigger time in which they reinitialize all the components.I guess that he noticed the removal of the HDD and the BIOS reset . I advise you to wait a little longer . It will eventually start .
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.
Is it plugged in? Is the power supply and all other components plugged into the motherboard for power?
