6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your computer case.

6.1 No Power When Pressing Power Button

• Check PSU: Ensure your Power Supply Unit (PSU) is properly connected to the wall outlet and the power switch on the PSU is in the 'ON' position.
• Front Panel Connectors: Verify that the power button cable from the case's front I/O is correctly connected to the corresponding pins on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for pin layout.
• Motherboard Power: Confirm that the 24-pin ATX power cable and the CPU power cable from the PSU are securely connected to the motherboard.

6.2 RGB Fan Not Lighting Up

• AZZA Hub Connection: Ensure the pre-installed fan's RGB cable is correctly connected to the AZZA Hub, and the AZZA Hub itself is powered via a SATA power connector from your PSU.

• LED Button: Press the LED control button on the front I/O panel to cycle through modes or ensure it's not turned off.

6.3 Poor Airflow/Overheating

• Fan Orientation: Verify that all installed fans are oriented correctly for optimal airflow (intake for cool air, exhaust for hot air).
• Dust Buildup: Clean any dust from fans, radiators, and dust filters as described in the Maintenance section.
