Hello everyone, so today my computer stopped working. I was writing an essay when it crashed I decided to plug my iphone into it via usb, I moved my tower (while it was running) slightly, very carefully, and my screen froze and became unresponsive. A few seconds later it turned off, and would not turn back on. My mouse, which has an led in it, will light up for a split second when i press the power button, but nothing inside my computer works.

My computer has an i7 3770k, an ASrock extreme4 lga1155, a radeon 7870, a ssd, hdd, and optical drive, along with a corsair tx650 power supply.
I tried turning it on using the power button on the motherboard but nothing happens, and nothing is displayed on the motherboard itself. (it has a little number led that isn't lighting up.
 
Solution
try bending it with small flat head or nail file....issue is next time you plug in anything will the pin bend/snap off. you can try email case vendor to see if they send you a replacement front.
check your usb ports for bent/broken pin...may broken the port and shorted your mb out. myself i pull power from the wall and then reset cables..ram and video card and clear the cmos and see if the system comes back. if not look for a screw or mb shorting out.

I unplugged my cases front usb conection from my motherboard and now it works. I tried plugging it into a different usb port on my motherboard, but it wont turn on with it plugged in anywhere. For now I can use my computer without the front usb ports, but I feel like this is a weird issue. I had some trouble fitting my usb cord into the port on my case, so perhaps i damaged the port on the case, thus my mobo wont turn on with it plugged in? I'm not entirely sure.
