I'm trying to remember what colours were where on the ribbon cable. (I'm at home now)

But, I think you are powering from the wrong side.

If I remember the Yellow and red wires should do the trick.

Look at the numbers on the board. pin 1 is (+), as is pin .

Pin 3 and 4 are (-) negative.

I think you are trying to power the pin 11 and 12. Which do nothing.

I could be wrong though. In which case you are powering it correctly.

But, try powering it without the ribbon cable. try applying positive (+) to the lower right hand corner (pin 2), and a negative voltage to pin 3 (-).
