CF replacement help?

(note: I already posted this in another thread but didn't get any replies, so as a last ditch effort I'm posting a new topic. I realize this adds some clutter, but the CF card was quite expensive so I would like to get this working.)

I tried both cables supplied with the CF-to-ZIF adapter to no avail (and the cable that is used for the original SSD). In the picture below, the cable in the middle lights up the LED on the adapter, but the CF card is not detected by the BIOS - other cables don't power up the adapter at all. I read something about having to "flip" the cable, but it didn't make any sense to me - anyone want to help me out? Like I said earlier, the CF card was pretty pricy so I'd really like to get this working.

 

Use the left one..
Its flip cable,and dont forget blue side on top..

 

There's only one blue end on that cable, and the white end doesn't fit into the ZIF slot on the adapter or on the motherboard. Do I need a different cable?

 

I have the same problem…… T.T

 

who can help me?
