CN11 has ground pins on either side of the print drive coming from Q10/11

I wondered that myself. I numbered all of the small ribbon cables I removed from the main board to the rest of the printer. then I photographed them as I was removing them. The way the cables lay in the printer, they are pretty tight fit. I would be very difficult to get any of them in the wrong place, but I guess anything is possible. I just wonder if there was water or cleaning fluid in the circuit board located on the printhead and when I connected everything back up that water/cleaning fluid shorted out the board in the printhead, and that took out the main board. That is really the only thing I can come up with.
I have a tested good main board and tested good print head ordered from China...Next year, I should have it...lol!!
Frustrating, let me tell ya, thinking I am the idiot who let the smoke out!!
