      A trick: check the cable. :-D

          Oh yes, first have a look at the color, it is very important, then, in the spare, time you may also check how many wires the cable has. :-D

                  Yes, some have up/down ends, while others have left/right ends. You have to be careful how you orient the cable, because if the bits flow in the wrong direction...well, it's just messy.
