Beware of the power button

This is the first time I've bought this case with my friend's entire PC playset. I used to build a lot of computers, but this was the first time I had a problem. With the computer fully assembled, I was ready to power up the system. Be aware that it had to wait a few months for it to accumulate. Do you know what happens when I press the power button? it doesn't even turn on. I spent 4 hours debugging, disassembling, reassembling and testing everything which indicates interest but nothing happens. I know power goes to the motherboard. Then I read something on Reddit that said you had to short circuit the board to make it work. what do you know it starts I was afraid that I would let my friend down and he would become depressed, he had to wait longer only to find out that the power button was not working. I discovered this based on an old Dell case I had. I am very frustrated that the product is buggy for people who don't understand PC and this was the first build which would have been a terrible experience. For that I give the case "1 star"! If I were you, I would stick with the rating of the YouTuber case with positive ratings
