Is this with the case empty, i.e. no modules in it? If so, since it's 
a new case, time to contact your local distributor! If you _have_ put 
some modules in: are they all connected the right way round, i.e. the 
red stripe on the ribbon at the bottom?; have any of the connectors 
been forced on one pin too high or low?; are there any bent/damaged 
pins on unused connectors shorting out?; are the modules known to 
work in another case?

What was the problem with the first one?

Many, many possibilities, but unless it is a clearly obvious physical 
problem (like the above), my advice: call your distributor!
