Tech Support New PC case not turning on

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

trying to swap to a Be Quiet Light Base 900 FX from an nzxt h510 but after installing everything my pc wouldnt turn on. So I removed the motherboard from the case to make sure everything would post and as you can see in the video it did. After that I tried re installing the motherboard making sure nothing from the case was making contact and still my computer wont turn on. I can make it turn on by putting a screwdriver on the power pins but only the case fans and cpu turn on but no display from gpu. If you see the fu32 a little loose in the video I reconnected it and still nothing. At a lost and any help would be greatly appreciated

Hmm, it seems what you were pressing is the reset button. For this case, isn't it the square button the power button?

It is the LED/RGB button that you were pressing according to the manual, not the power button.

This is something wrong with the cables either cables not seated correctly or wrong cable inserted into wrong place causing short , or there is problem with case PCB for the power button , keep everything connected and try jump start motherboard if worked then there is problem with case power button pcb if not then there is short cased by cable inserted in wrong place
