Hi! It seems like your setup isn't powering up properly after swapping cases. The RGB lights up and the heatshield warms up, but the CPU fan isn't spinning. You might want to check the power connections and ensure everything is securely attached. Also, verify that the RAM is correctly installed and that the motherboard supports the new components. If the issue persists, consider testing with a different power supply or consulting a technician. Thanks for reaching out!

Did you connect the power button connector to the right header instead of the reset header? Everyone makes this mistake sometimes.

Ensure the front panel connectors are securely connected.

I also used the power switch connector and a screwdriver.

Sorry, but it seems you're referring to something outside the main context. The front panel connectors aren't that far, right?

In reality, the main idea I have is that perhaps the positive and negative connectors weren’t linked properly.

From this image it looks like you might have moved the cable incorrectly. The power button pins are in the red circle, while you connected your power cable to the blue circle. Please check the manual for the correct pin placement next time and be more precise with your connections. The key missing information is the motherboard name and model, which will help improve future guidance.

That's exactly what I was considering.

In fact, I was a bit off—your cables were connected incorrectly. The power cable shouldn’t be there. It would help to specify the motherboard brand and model, which allowed me to recognize your model from the manual. You should place the case’s power cable where the red smearing is marked. A picture would also be useful here.
