Computer won't turn on after SSD/dual HD kit install

Hey folks,

Just finished installing the iMac Intel 27" Mid 2010 Dual Hard Drive Kit with a Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD, and upon closing things up and trying to power on the machine, I get no response at all from the computer. No fans, no noises, no nothing. Searching through forums has me believing it's a cascading issue and will probably require a logic board replacement? Power supply issue? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Answer this question I have this problem too

I had similar issues the problem was with lose connectors on the board check again and firmly tighten up the connectors to your hdd, display etc. Hope your problem resolves.

Thanks! That was my first instinct and tried a couple of times without any luck. Any suggestions as to where to focus my efforts on the board - do you remember which connections came loose for you? Wondering if there was anything on the back of the logic board that might need to be addressed? Thanks again!
