I simply cannot get the power cable to plug in! HELP!

Ahaa! I no longer need assistance, but in case anyone else ever runs into this problem, here's the deal: It DOES MATTER which side of the power cable is attached to which item! There I was with my sides reversed, so nothing would happen. I just took the power cable and turned it around, and viola', it snapped right into place.

Is there some symbol or hint that should have made that clear to me in the game?
