I finished my build a while ago and found out that my power switches where not working.
The logo on my motherboard lights up as soon as I turn on the power supply, but the power switch just doesn't work.
At first I plugged my F_PANEL pin bundle thing into the wrong slot (no pins were bent, the pins on the board were in the exact same place). Second try, I moved the cable and put it into the right place, but it still didn't work.
I even tried short-circuiting the PWRBTN & Ground pins, but it still didn't work.
Have I broken something?
Tried some more things:
After every test I tried shorting the pins again to see if it would boot.
The logo on the board lights up as soon as the board is given power. I also tried charging my phone through the usb port and that worked ( These two happened just by giving the board power, NOT after shorting the power pins ).
I never saw the error LED on the board light up to any colour.

Tried some more things:
- Took motherboard out of case and tested it again.
- Took each ram sticks out and tried them out individually.
- Took CPU out ( there were no bent pins on the back ) and re-socketed it.
- Took out battery on motherboard. Waited probably about 40 mins and then put the battery back in.
