Here's a mystery that I know some of you can help me solve.
I've got a reimport TZ that has been pretty reliable. Lately it had reset issues, so I took a freshly repaired power driver board and dropped it in.
I labelled the connectors as I was disconnecting things, and then started plugging it all back in.
I checked the manual as I reconnected everything and came to discover that three sets of plugs appear to be either labelled wrong (my error) OR they were plugged into the old board incorrectly...at least, according to the manual. I know manuals sometimes have errors, and so in an effort to avoid blowing stuff up, here is what I need to know.

#1 J-120 VS J-121.
Should J-120 - 1 be unused, followed by J-120-2 Orange, and etc....as per the image from the manual?
Should J-121-1 be Brown, followed by J-121-2 Orange, and etc...as per the image from the manual?

#2 J-134 VS J-135
J-134. The manual says J-134 is not used. But I had something plugged into J-134, I had a connector with two wires that the manual says should be plugged into J-135 (two wires, J-135-8, which is red/violet, and J-135-9, which is red/grey). So should it be in J-134 or J-135?

#3 J-138 VS J-137
J-138 is apparently not used, according to the manual. But it appears that I had the connector that the manual says should be in J-137 plugged into J-138.

I haven't even had a beer, but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Perhaps I mislabeled them....
Is the manual correct? Did I really mislabel three connectors? Would there be any reason why the connectors would be plugged into a different plug?
Would having a re-import game have anything to do with this? I would like to avoid blowing my freshly restored power driver board.

Help!
Thanks!

BTW, pictures of a TZ's hooked up power driver board would be amazing...

That is amazing!!!! Wow, I had no idea. Thank you so much!!!
I wasn't thinking they were related to the resets, I just was second guessing my labelling job, since the manual numbers and the numbers I inked on the connectors were different. So I guess if I want to just hook things up as per the manual, that should be A-OK, even though it was different than what I had?
