I got all my computer parts today and I was finished building it and everything, but when i pressed the power button, nothing happened. =[

My mobo lit up which means my power supply and mobo are working and everything... I even made sure the power switch and reset switch were put in the correct orientation

Does it mean my case was DOA?

Your mobo should have a power button, does turning on by that work? When I built mine over the summer, I broke the power button in the first two times (or rather, the power button was defective, totally not my fault) and eventually had the company send a replacement module.

When you mean that the power and reset switch were put in correct orientation, you meant the frontside panel pins' polarity, I assume? The two are wired exactly the same way, you can use the reset switch wire and power on.

Motherboards have some very small connectors, usually opposite the CPU diagonally, near the power light and the CR2032 battery (bios battery). You have to connect those pins before the power button will work.

I connected the Power, reset, HDD led, and power LED to the connectors. The motherboard led lights up but the computer doesn't turn on. If the bios battery is dead, will the mobo led still turn on?

Other than a green button/light looking thing near the chipset, I don't see anything either. Maybe there is none, would make it a bit of a pain. It'll still post if the bios battery is dead.

Try wiring the reset wires to power.

Common. Wire the fan/thermometer, many motherboards won't start without them.

Bios battery doesn't mean anything in this case.

Yes, it will still turn on.

Did you use the grounding screws to separate your motherboard from the interior of the case in which it resides?

Yea my motherboard stands on the gold screws... I think my case's power button doesn't work =[

I guess i'll find the time to switch out parts with another computer that was pre-built... dont know how that'll turn out

Oh and can anyone suggest any reasons why it might not be working besides the case being doa?
I can't think of anything else
