Hi,

Opened it up tonight for first time and can't get it to power on at all, I've contacted support but just wanted to see if there was anything else anyone could recommend in the meantime. Specs below.

Looking at similar threads on the subject I've gone back into the machine and checked connections, all seem fine (PSU to Motherboard etc). The only concern I have is regarding the power button itself - I can't tell if it's the cable management snagging it - but it does appear to be a bit snug in there. I've tried to ensure it's properly in but I still can't get the machine to power on.

The cable to the right doesn't seem to be fully seated from that picture so if you can, re-seating it would be advisable. Also assume the power button at the back of the PC for the PSU is definitely on?

In a cruel twist I was doing a last look over it, the PSU connection wasn't clipped in fully.

So I completely missed it. I'll get the thread locked. But thanks for the reply. Up and running!
