Some people say that small amounts of power can be transferred through the ribbon cable, enough to have all 3 lights be lit, but when the cable's pulled out, only 2 lights are lit. I haven't had first-hand experience with that though.

If the Digital Sidecar is properly connected to power, then having the ribbon cable removed should not affect its power LEDs. That's why disconnecting the cable is a good diagnostic for DS power issues.

If the big orange Robot Signal Light is blinking, it usually means battery voltage is getting to the Digital Sidecar okay.

I'll try to remove it anyways just to double check but the RSL is working as it should for disabled and teleop.
