Great install video, thanks! Just watched; going to dive in tomorrow night and try to get mine installed...
@Mando - One question: having read through this thread, I was wondering if you had a link to the correct model of replacement ribbon cable? I don't PLAN on tearing mine, but, you know, accidents could happen, and I'd just like to have a source for a cable replacement handy...
Hey @Mando just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here... The end of the cable with red tape around it has 18-pins, the side without has... 15?
The 18-pin side is too wide to fit into the main board connector. I'm guessing the tape is simply on the wrong connector, but want to make sure before I deviate from the instructions ..
Quoted from Mando:That's weird does one side have more than the other ? It should not , that's a mistake I'd so. What you can likely do is put the side with the electric tape on them main board just remove the tape . They should be identical the only reason for the tape is for it to fit more snug so you would want to replace it.
Does that make sense sorry at a wedding.
Oh my goodness!! ENJOY the wedding!
No worries, that's what I suspected would be the solution, just wanted to double check before I got "creative" *whew*
(Fingers crossed for you that there's a Venetian Hour over there!)

WORKS. BEAUTIFULLY.
Swapped the ends of the cable, and it signal came through right as rain.
Used a 5V phone charger for the screen, and I'm good to go... 
(Thank you for stopping me from using a 12V power supply. That could have been disastrous.) 
Cheers!
