Build Warning for others - OLED Display Connector

[bog-bean]

Hi everyone!

I received my RUSP kit a few weeks ago and have sat down to assemble over the weekend.

Just wanted to put a head's up to others that (at least on my motherboard - I think there are two versions) the OLED cable FPC connector is mounted in an opposite orientation to the build instructions - the flip up tab is a small piece of brown plastic (not black) and flips up from the left hand side of the connector, not the right.

Despite having used flex cables a lot and thinking 'huh this sure looks like it's the other way around', I second-guessed myself and followed the instructions and damaged the connector itself, which means I now need a whole new motherboard as the component is too small for me to confidently de-solder and replace by hand. I'm sure other people came across this issue and recognised it without causing damage like I did, but just flagging it anyway, just in case it saves someone else a headache... :'-)

Really hoping to get this build finished so I can start working with others on the firmware/software!

I got puzzled by that too, luckily I cleaned enough Apple mouses to recognize the flap immediately! There are some electronics nerds out there who'll be able to solder the connector, I'd rather bet on that before trying to get a replacement (last resort)...
