Haven't sorted out the problem yet. I don't have a multimeter handy to test it but as far as I can tell everything is connected. It's hard to tell what's going on inside of the clips, but it feels like it's solid and I've unplugged it and plugged it back in so many times now that it should have worked at least once. I even took off my glue and wiggled the wires inside to make sure they made contact. I updated the firmware to try and reset the undefined thing, and it could be nothing but it didn't sound right when I updated. Usually it makes that whirring sound, but it lasted a long time and the sound didn't sound normal. It sounded like someone dropping a bomb from a long ways.
PS, would it burn something out if any of these wires touched? When I tugged on the ends to see which one was loose, the red and black came out together, so I pulled the green one out too. I was touching them to the terminals to see which ones make the light go on, and there is a good chance they made contact with each other and / or the pins on the board, because holding 3 wires into position with two fingers is harder than it seems in theory. :oops:

Double and triple check if the TC cables are actually connected to the TC board (and check if the green terminal is connected to the TC board)... Siert emailed me the other day that if the TC cable gets disconnected, the arduino gets into a undefined state and can potentially overheat the head.
