I recently swapped out my old 2060 for a new 5060 GPU, but now my system won't power on at all. I've taken everything apart and reassembled it, even removed the motherboard battery, but I'm still stuck. Any advice would be appreciated! Here's a (https://youtube.com/shorts/uD5eRDiR7UQ?si=vFscTufctWiWIjPW) showing the issue.

Make sure you turned off the switch on the power supply. It might sound simple, but it’s easy to overlook! If it’s off, try switching it on and off again just to be sure.
If nothing happens at all, you might want to try installing the new GPU in a different PCIe slot. Ensure it’s properly seated—sometimes it can be a bit tricky to snap in right.
I’d suggest doing a 'bench test.' This means taking everything out of the case and setting it up on a non-conductive surface with just the essential components. It’ll help you confirm that everything is connected correctly and rule out any case shorting issues.
Have you tested both your new 5060 and the old 2060 GPUs? Check that you've plugged in all the necessary cables, especially the 8-pin connector required for the 5060. When you press the power button, does anything at all happen?
