I just cleaned the PC together with a friend, and after putting everything back in, it refused to power on— the startup light turned orange. Fixed it!

I don't have access to specific system details. Could you clarify which system you're referring to?

This situation usually occurs at least once when trying to clean a PC, which is a common frustration. If it happens again, start by inspecting all cables. Verify each one is securely connected by reinserting them. Ensure no metal parts of the case touch the device and that the cables aren’t damaged, which could lead to short circuits. Confirm the GPU and RAM are properly seated. Also, check the CPU installation and make sure the cooler isn’t overly tight. Other aspects to verify include USB connections—especially the motherboard port—as bent metal can contact the USB gold-plated area and cause issues. There may be additional factors you haven’t mentioned.
