I've made sure she had the front panel connections are on correctly, all the power leads are in correctly and plugged into the wall properly. Any possible flukes so far?

2

Rocker switch on PSU? Start with the most obvious haha >.<

3

Tried that the first time

4

Power supply recently verified as good? If no you can completley disconnect all outputs from everything and paperclip pins 15 & 16 and see if it's fan starts.

5

Going to try that tomorrow.

6

Check all internal connections.

Did you do a test run outside the case?

7

Tryed that already. 3 times at that. We did the test outside the case and it did happen to boot up.

In theory: The motherboard she has only has 6 screw holes with the metal rim. I'm thinking some of the standoffs might be in the wrong position by the RAM area. The screw holes on the front part of the motherboard don't have the Metal Rim in place. So, in theory due to that. The stand offs that are there are making direct contact with the PCB and causing the system to short out thus making impossible to turn on. I'm going to have her take the motherboard out and move a couple of the stand offs to see what will happen next

8

I/O panel installed correctly? None of the spacers bent into a port or something?

9

The I/O shield plate was installed correctly. What do you mean by spacers?

10

The little prongs surrounding the ports on the shield. I've seen one jammed into a HDMI port before. No idea what they are actually called to be honest haha. Maybe it's time to sleep!
