Did I kill my A600?

This is a long shot.  Sometimes, when I pull ribbon cables from hard drives, the end connectors separate a little.  Everything looks fine but one or more connections could be lost.  This is consistent with  having no indication or smell of failure.

Examine the cable and try to press the connector halves back onto the ribbon.  Better yet, replace the ribbon cable.

Good Luck!

the red stripe "usually" goes on the same side as the power connector.

 Not in that specific adaptor! It inverts the bus, so the picture is right!

Funny you should use the word 'Rooting'. Here in Australia rooting means f**king. I get a very x-rated visual from your comment.
