Looking for advice re this spec
- Thread starter David689
- Start date
PC arrived today - yay!
Plugged it in, turned it on - nearly nada. Dammit!
Not quite nothing though, which rules out some problems like a blown fuse in the mains plug. I get a little lit up thing in the top left looking in the glass window (terrible description - see photo for better description)
Taken with flash to better show the internals:
No fans move. There is no sound coming from the machine at all. There is no fan sound from the power supply. But there is a little orange flashing light next to the where the network cable is plugged in to the back of the PC.
A photo of the back of the PC:
All that I have plugged in is a mouse, a keyboard and an HDMI monitor connection (I haven't got the right DP cable). I have tried unplugging all of these and turning it back on again but that makes no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and what I can do to trouble shoot? What is that bit that is lit up?
Thank you.

Oh no, that's very unfortunate. The lit up bits look like the lighting on the motherboard itself. When you press the power button, what happens? Are there any beeps?
Are there any obvious unplugged cables? It looks a little like the cable in the top left of the motherboard is unplugged, but it's quite hard to tell from the photo...

Check the CPU power pin to the motherboard in the top left and also the huge 24pin motherboard connector.
Also check the PSU power connectors at the PSU.

Check the PSU connections.

Don't assume they're in ok, take them out and put them in fully again.
Will do.
I have managed to unplug and plug back in both the motherboard 24-pin connector and the PSU 24 pin conector and both clicked into place reassuringly. But the 4 pin and 8 pin motherboard plugs are rammed up against the fans of the cooler radiator in the "ceiling" of the case. I am loathe to remove that to access them, although I may have to as the 4 pin plug doesn't look very straight. I will attempt to get a photo.
btw, thank you to everyone who is trying to help out.

I'd suggest you drop that PSU right out to check all those connections, and as @SpyderTracks said unplug them, and plug them back in making sure you here them click, the other one to check is along the bottom of the motherboard, that then goes up to the frontpanel

The only concern with the 3060 Ti is that 8GB of VRAM is enough for 4K, but may not be enough for 6K, though I'm not sure how bandwidth would affect this. It's all moot as the 3060 is out of stock anyway, and of course it would always be possible to upgrade to a better card in a few years' time if it became necessary.
Are you posting in the correct thread, old bean? This seems out of place…
The USB 3.2 Gen1 front panel connector (U32G1_12) goes to the top panel in this Lian Li case. I have clicked it out and back in again. Is this the one you mean?

No, I'm not. Goodness only knows how. I'll go to bed, I think!
