The little 4-pin plastic power connector broke on my Sapphire 9800Pro the other day. It's not really a problem because I can still connect the power cable to it, it just won't lock - problem is, I don't know which way (up vs. down) it should connect.

You have the basic red wire (5v), 2 black (ground) and 1 yellow (12v), now when the card is installed and the power connector is attatched, should the yellow wire be on the inside toward the AGP slot or the red wire? Did that make sense? I just don't want to install it the wrong way and maybe fry the card by accident? Any help would be appreciated, can't way to play COD again. 😉
 
Installed in my rig and looking at it, the red wire is to the left- facing out, and the yellow to the right, facing the AGP slot.
