I had my PC working fine this morning while using Chrome. I shut it down to give it a good cleaning. I opened the case and took care of the CPU fan and tidied up all the wires. After I reassembled everything and connected everything properly, the PC wouldn't power on at all when I tried to turn it on. What should I do?

Make sure you double-check the thin wire connected to the power button itself; that often gets overlooked. Ensure the CPU power plug is seated correctly, and maybe try reseating the motherboard power connector too. Also, verify that all components are snugly in place. If everything seems good but it still won’t power on, unplug the power supply, press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, and try booting it up again.
I can't dive into specifics right now, but if you're looking for help, uploading a couple of pictures of the motherboard and connections could be really helpful. It's also important to check if your power supply is switched on. If you've removed the GPU, check for any damage at the contact points.
How did you clean your PC? Using a vacuum, water, or just pressurized air? It matters because some methods could cause damage. If you can, share some pictures of how everything's connected!
You might have accidentally knocked a cable loose while cleaning. It's worth checking every single connection again, just to be sure.
Did you remember to flip the little switch on the power supply itself? Sometimes that’s an easy fix!
