<andlabs> okay am I the only one here with one of these roland boutique things
<andlabs> because how the hell am I supposed to attach the keyboard cable for the special docking keyboard
<andlabs> there is no place where it clicks in place and I'm starting to fear I'm breaking my brand new $350 thing
<andlabs> and the documentation and help videos don't help
<andlabs> there's a notch which I assume I have to align with something but the D-05 does not seem to have that space?
<andlabs> ugh even with the SH-01A the ribbon cable won't go in wtf

<Lord_Nightmare> andlabs: keep asking around, you might have the wrong cable or something
<andlabs> I do?
<andlabs> I found one reddit threa dhwer eosmeone said their cable was backwards
<andlabs> but if the entirely wrong cable period is a thing that can heppane too, then oi
<andlabs> I bought this keyboard specifically so I wouldn't need to have a lot of cables to use a keyboard witth this module on the go, mind
<andlabs> also I can't tell if mine is backwards or not given the images in that reddit thread
<Lord_Nightmare> ask for better pics?

<andlabs> it's an old thread
<andlabs> and mye yes are not the best anyway
<andlabs> here's my cable in its collapsed position https://i.imgur.com/b4WKZ6m.jpg
<andlabs> and here's the side that faces me when I lift the cable to put it in the module https://i.imgur.com/MF9tQL3.jpg

<Lord_Nightmare> andlabs: unfortunately pin 1 is not marked with a red stripe on that wire, so that doesn't help here
<Lord_Nightmare> if you can open the unit and look for a square pad on one of the pins on each end
<Lord_Nightmare> that should tell you where pin 1 is
<Lord_Nightmare> on the solder pad for the connector to the pcb
<Lord_Nightmare> why the cable doesn't have a red stripe is beyond me
<Lord_Nightmare> some dark colored cables have dots on the pin 1 wire
<Lord_Nightmare> printed all along the length
<Lord_Nightmare> andlabs: also make sure the cable is plugged into both ends in the correct orientation
<Lord_Nightmare> it isn't permanently attached to the keyboard side, is it?
<andlabs> I think it is but I'm not sure; will have to check, but a bit busy right now

<andlabs> Lord_Nightmare: it looks like it should be removable, but I'm not sure how
<andlabs> it has those two upward-pointing pins a tthe edges of the hinge that are also on the other side
