New build not turning on help!

DeCoR26

So at first I thought I just made some mistakes with the front panel connections, since I'm not getting any LED lights on the power button, but I've triple checked it and am 99% sure its connected properly. The 24 pin motherboard power connection and 6 pin CPU connection both seem to be connected fine. I'm at a real loss to what could be wrong, defintely worried it's bad parts now. Any ideas?

Don't have access to a camera at the moment, I know not helpful.

CPU power is connected.
Case came with built in stand offs.
Card seems to be fully seated but will recheck, I thought this would only give display problems though not boot problems.
GPU power connecters are fine.
Have not tried booting with one stick of ram.

Thats all for now.

Rule #1: Don't panic whatever you do.

Okay, so, have you attempted to boot without the front panel connector?

14:25 -> 14:50.

Try that first.

^Thanks very much for that tip, how would I turn everything off after doing that? Are there keystrokes there on that screen? Very nooby question haha.

I also didn't get a speaker header but I suppose I still just need to see if something is bad.

Kind of leaning against the screwdriver method at the moment, kind of worried about damaging everything, thinking maybe just redo the build and if theres still a problem then try it, maybe overly careful but yeah nobody wants to ruin their stuff.

Sorry, missed that post, when you're turning it off put the screwdriver between +PW for a few seconds, should knock it off. Also, it's entirely safe as long as you're doing it and you're grounded and your computer. Do this on top of your motherboard box and you'll be fine as long as you ground yourself. There's nothing to worry about with this method. Newegg wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't safe.

I'm not sure if I need to at this point, I just reconnected the front panels just to be extra sure, plugged it in, and power supply sparked or shorted when I flipped the on switch, so bad power supply maybe?

^Sums it up pretty well, spark wasn't the right description, I didn't see anything but heard something so yeah.

New update I guess, but I removed the graphics card, and power on, get the LEDs on the fan and a spin for half a second, nothing else, no clue now, would suggest maybe front panel connection problems again? I've positive they are in the correct way, thinking maybe removing the front panel and seeing if they case manufacturers made a mistake on their end.
