I've been having trouble just getting my PC to turn on, so I stripped everything out and built a breadboard with the PSU, motherboard, CPU&HSF, and RAM. I'm able to power this on with a screwdriver on the power pins on the motherboard, so these parts work. I tried powering on the board by connecting the my case to the pins and pressing the power button on the case, but this does not work.
Normally, I would assume that my case wasn't working, but actually earlier today, my case WAS working. I had powered on my build like normal (through the case) and I got to my login screen. However, my fan was abnormally loud so I fiddled with it. This led to me being unable to power up my computer up at all, leading me to build the breadboard. Now the breadboard works, but I can't turn it on with the case. I've made sure the case is plugged into the correct pins, and that the power supply is on when I try.
Any ideas for what I could be missing to have my case turn on the build, or any ways to test if the case is malfunctioning?
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Pro4
PSU: Corsair CX 650M
Case: Cougar MX331 Mesh
I was using an aftermarket fan but after building the breadboard, I've switched to a stock one, and that powers on fine.
