I'm setting up a PC for the first time after a long time and everything connected worked fine until I tried to boot. The RGB lights on six of my fans were active but didn't spin, and they weren't visible in BIOS. The three fans that went into the bottom of the case near the battery were fine. After turning it off, unplugging everything, I realized those six fans weren't fully connected to the case. I reinstalled them and restarted, but nothing happened. Now I still can't get it to start. I think the issue might be with the wiring—possibly the RGB connectors or power connector were swapped. I also suspect the fan power might have gone into the wrong slots on the GigaByte drive near the CPU fan port. After removing the SSD and restoring the battery, it still won't boot. The status lights on the case are off, which is concerning. I'm worried something might have been damaged or misconfigured. Could this be a reading error? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
