Spent 3 hours on a dead PC that just had a loose front panel connector
Client brought in a custom build that wouldn't power on at all, and I went through the whole PSU, motherboard, and power switch testing routine. The entire time, the tiny reset button wire was just barely unplugged from the header, tucked under the GPU where I couldn't see it. How do you guys avoid missing the simple stuff when a job looks complicated from the start?

Always start with the simplest cable check (seriously).

Starting with cables can waste time. Modern gear has better error checking now. A quick system log check often points right to the real issue. Cable checks are a holdover from older, less reliable hardware. Jumping to physical connections first ignores smarter diagnostic paths.
