Core X - Won't power up

A
There is a thread about this (locked) issue that could probably solve my problem (assuming it is not DOA) but the pictures are missing in the thread and I cannot tell where the sensor is. Does anyone have pics or more detailed instructions of where this sensor is and what may need to be bent a bit?

It’s Core v1 thread and old thread would be automatically locked. Core X has its own physical power button unlike Core v1 and v2. PSU and rail connection may be also different.

Ah, darn...I'm at a loss as to the problem then. :frown_: I'd hate to have to return it already.

*edit* Nevermind.I hooked it up to my iPad that uses USB C and it powered up. Apparently the thunderbolt cable has to be connected to a machine in order for it to power up. I'm waiting for my mac mini to arrive so I didn't have anything to plug it into. That should probably be in the instructions. I would think it could power up prior to connecting a machine.

I don’t have Core x but yeah TB3 enclosure without host laptop it won’t power up to detect system...Sidenote You know you need also a GPU right:wink_: beside Mac mini. Interesting though to know it’s powered up by usb c connection device like on your Tablet.

Yeah, I have a Vega 56 card in there.
I figured the iPad would do the trick if a connection was needed because the cable can charge a laptop.
