PC not posting/booting

Go to solution Solved by CrispyNugget,

I feel like an idiot. Plugged the power switch into the wrong header. Thanks for all the suggestions. Going to go cry now.

As the title implies, I completed an SFF rebuild today, and when I went to turn it on, nothing. The only sign of life comes from one stick of ram lighting up and the RGB mousepad lighting up. No fans are spinning, and no post either. All help is welcome. This is my second build; the first one went fine, so I have no experience troubleshooting this problem.

 

Parts List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rxn8TY

Mobo was secondhand from this Amazon seller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083M3P6TR?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Custom-sleeved cables were also used from this Etsy seller: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DBSleevez?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1113339185

 

Will answer all pertinent questions about the build. Thanks in advance

Do you have the orginal PSU cables?
You can try to remove the CMOS battery for 5 minutes, put it in and try again.

I do, though there seems to be an issue with the 10-pin and the 18-pin being swapped on the PSU side of the 24-pin connector. Also not sure I would be able to make everything fit due to the stiff nature of the cables. I also have a set from cablemod for the PSU. Long story there.

If you have the time, I recommend taking the GPU out and using the HDMI/dp on the MB. Use your "first" pc to test the GPU. 

Another thing is that you may need a bios update because PC Part Picker isn't always correct with the bios updates. Happened to me once before.
