Or the service manual is wrong. The diagram shows it goes to CN103 PIN 23 and 24, verify that.

Yes! Bud, you are the MAN! When I was looking at things, before, I thought that it was strange that the 5V should be on one side of the connector, but flip-flopped on the other side.

I'm not the first person to have their hands in this. And, when I put it back together the first time, I put everything back how I found it. Including the connector @ CN103. Which was backward!

I didn't question it, because, well...

1) it's keyed. And,

2) when wires sit in a position for an amount of time, they want to fall into that position.

When the previous owner had it, he must have JAMMED the heck out of the connector when he reassembled it, as there are stress marks in the plastic.

It's sitting here on my Galaxian cocktail, working, as far as I can tell! I haven't hooked up a video signal to it yet, but the Dell logo pops up, and the screen saver kicks in!

I can't thank you enough. Even though it was a KISS principle error, I wouldn't have found it, otherwise.
