I am building a computer for a friend her and I have had a few issues but i think this is the final hurdle. Earlier in the day i got her computer to work. I installed Ubuntu on it and everything. However, I unplugged most of the cables to run them through the back for proper cable management. Now, nothing ia turning on. I already ran through the help guide and still nothing. Here is a photo of everything plugged in. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
 
Solution
The buttons can often be unclipped and then you could swap them or buy a replacement to get the power button working. Or steal one from another case.
Switch on the back of the PSU turned on?
Photo looks ok, is it just the power cables you re ran or did you do the front case connectors as well? if so check the power switch is connected right.
Was it all installed in the case already when you had it working before?
 


You guys put me on the right track here. The answer is a bit weird. The Power button the case is broken. When I got it working before I accidentally switched the Power switch and reset switch. So, when I hit the reset switch before that is what turned it on. When I was rewired it, I put the cables back in correctly. But, since the power button is broken I couldn't turn it on. I fixed it by simply having the reset button be plugged into the power spot.
