The biggest problem is with cable. Somebody cut it off. And side that plugs into pcb have 6 pin conector and uses 5 cables. I personaly never seen something like that so im looking for help. What does that fifth cable do? It's some terminal reset line or something? And if i can just plug that cable that you can see on the left.
