Ive taken the lid off and reseated the data cable to the VHD display, tried powering on with the hard drive outside of the case and the display works, ive found out that because i havnt secured my hdd down with screws as i havent any, that if the hard drive touched the cap on the circuit board of the display that the display would go out.

So i just need to mount the hdd properly, would be nice if venton would supply screws to fit the 2.5 hdd.
