Epson R1390 DTF printer ink light blinking after replacing printhead flat cables

Hi everyone, I need some help with my Epson R1390 DTF printer.
The problem started after we replaced the printhead flat cables/ribbon cables.
After replacing the printhead flat cables, at first the carriage was moving all the way to the left side and kept trying to go left. We checked and reconnected the cables/sensors, and that issue seems to be fixed now.
The current problem is that when we press the power button, the printer turns on for a moment, then the power light goes off and only the ink light keeps blinking. The printer does not respond to the buttons after that.
We have checked that the flat cables are connected correctly, everything seems to be in place, and the fuse is not blown.
I’m attaching a video of what it does now.
Does anyone know what could cause this after replacing the printhead ribbon cables? Could it be a damaged/incorrect cable, bad connection, carriage sensor, motherboard issue, or something else?
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!
