-The flat side of the LED should match the flat side of the symbol on the PCB. The flat side has the cathode.

 Put the PCB in the PT-10 case top where the panel would normally go, so the LEDs can be put in without bending the leads. ​ Put the PCB in the PT-10 case top where the panel would normally go, so the LEDs can be put in without bending the leads. ​

 Continuity check the ribbon cable. Make sure there are NO SHORTS between any two adjacent pins of the ribbon cable joints. Make sure GND and 5V are not connected (the single 2-wire cable). Continuity check the ribbon cable. Make sure there are NO SHORTS between any two adjacent pins of the ribbon cable joints.

 Here is a guide to soldering the wires to the LCD. I suggest "​rounding"​ the cable afterwards, it's easier to identify which wire goes to which pin when it's still a flat ribbon. Also, don't solder the wires INTO the holes, strip, tin and solder tinned ends flat against the pads. Here is a guide to soldering the wires to the LCD.
