Nice! I'm glad we were able to help. Can you share with us what you did to fix your issue?

I can easily restore it, but I can't see the BTC who should be standing there.
So with this you've successfully followed those tutorials.The problems are the address type and connection/synchronization issues.
For the address type:
If the SEED was created by Electrum, it will immediately recognize its "type" after you pasted it to the input box.
If it was created by an external BIP39 tool, you need to choose the right address type to match your old address.
- Select "legacy (p2pkh)" if your previous addresses starts with "1".
- Select "p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh)" if it starts with "3".
- Or select "native segwit (p2wpkh)" if it starts with "bc1".
For Connection issues:
- At first run, Electrum requires to download the "block_headers" file to display the correct balance and transaction history.
Even synchronized the balance will not show up if it wasn't downloaded yet (about 44mb+). - Read the other replies above for more possible causes of connection issues.

Do you mean that you don't have outstanding balance in your electrum wallet?What Electrum version you installed? you might installed a low version of Electrum and its not synchronizing that is why the balance is not showing?
If you installed lower version of Electrum like 3.3 or below you may experience on sychronizing issues and also make sure that you download the Electrum to the correct website electrum.org because there are many fake Electrum spreading on the internet and Phishing attack under 3.3 version.
How many words are in your seed? Was the seed generated in Electrum or from a different wallet? Do all the words appear in this list: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt? Did your wallet contain addresses that started with "1", with "3", or with "bc1"?
It is possible that you have misspelled a word or two or swapped the order, and so you are restoring an entirely different wallet, or that you have the correct seed but are restoring the wrong type of addresses.

You're seed might be bip39 format, and Electrum is trying to import it as mnemonic.
