Actually the maintenance/debugging chapter (8) in the KY11-LB maintenance manual
mentions this problem as a symptom, and the resolution is to reverse the cable
plugged into the M7859 coming from the front panel. So the manuals can be useful
as well.
However, it is still not good form to be so snippy in either asking questions or
answering them. There are more and more noobs out there that are younger than
their machines, and guiding them how to ask questions is as important as to
answering them.
If you don't want to respond in a civil fashion then don't respond at all. Then
your time will not be wasted.

*** To correct you, your issue wasn't "precisely" in the same class as a
line
cord, nor is that what I wrote or even implied... but having several 11/34
myself, and having initially run into the same cable reversal issue (but now,
over a year later, not remembering any details), the very fact that there's no
keys or any clear indications whatsoever which way the cable goes, made cable
orientation the number one suspect... and to me, an *obvious* thing to try first.
However, I *do* admit to implying in my response that I'm of the opinion that
*sometimes* people come running to the list here the instant any slight snag
is encountered, without really exercising due diligence, when they might take
on the challenge a bit more before doing so, thus have all the more
satisfaction from arriving at the solution.

Oh, only a small (1) was needed, but thank you. :)

J, to save the time of those posting,
it's more or less assumed you've already
tried the obvious things before asking
for help. Otherwise, posters are --
for example -- left having to first
question whether a machine is even
plugged in to the wall or not.
