Wasted all day today on the ARGON ONE V3 case

My new Raspberry Pi 5 16GB arrived today as did my Desk Pi Lite case.

The Plan was to move my Raspberry Pi5 8GB from the ARGON ONE V3 Case to the Desk Pi Lite Case put in a clone of the SSD that's running in the ARGON ONE V3.
Insrall the Pi 5 16GB in the ARGON ONE V3 case.

Old 8GB Pi 5 with the cloned SSD instantly booted in the Desk Pi Lite case.

16GB Pi 5 booted instantly with an other clone of that SSD on a Geekworm X1001. Updated the Pi firmware and rebooted. All fine.

Next step put the Pi5 16GB into the ARGON ONE V3.
should be easy...
connected the extension board and the NVME via PCIE flex PCB.
Screwed in the 2 tiny screws.
Closed the case and screwed in the 4 case screws.
Connected it to power and... nothing.
0 power draw.
OK time to re-open and reflash the controler.
Still the same, not a Milliwatt power draw.
3 PSUs and 12 reassemblies later...
Same result.

It's dead Jim.

Don't buy that crap
