I got my ESR Meter Fixed, apparently I was hooking up my test leads wrong.

Anyways, I got the power supply fixed so that the Combo unit will power up now, but for some reason its only partially working as the unit powers up through the self diagnostics phase and then shows the dim clock display like its supposed to, but then the unit powers on and proceeds to show the brightened clock and channel readout and then shows both the VCR and DVD mode lights lit up and then goes into DVD Mode where its then "Frozen" in that mode with unresponsive front panel buttons, including the power button.

Do you know what that's all about?

There is a black ribbon cable that went from the power supply board to the main board on the VCR part that when I first opened up this unit it was disconnected and I reconnected it but I'm not sure if I reconnected it correctly or not (there is one wired on the ribbon cable that's white colored which i'm assuming is "Pin 1" and I installed it with the white wire connected so that it was on the left side of the cable plugin but maybe it was supposd to be facing the right side?

thanks for your help.
