Question about the Macintosh Portable

Alright! Thanks! I found JMC's video and he had the list for the floppy drive, And I found that to have an external scsi, you need a diode from 5v to one of the pins, TheTechKnight explains that but I found that out because of JMC. Is that correct?
 
Welp, all of my stuff for the computer showed up. Thankfully Joes computer museum was kind enough to add a hybrid module after I had ordered. But Its all here, The battery eliminator and the bluescsi with the hybrid module. Just finished soldering them together. Now, just waiting for caps to tear the portable down again!
 
It works, 4 bodge wires (one on the hybrid pins and 3 on the caps), a couple of trace soldering and viola! It fired right up with a new hybrid module and caps with a new usb-c power supply I made and a battery eliminator... It showed that there was no hard drive connected with only like 6 pixels dead! I cant believe it fired up first try.

Thanks to @3lectr1cPPC @finkmac @joevt @SuperSVGA @pl212 and @Juror22 for helping me make this portable alive again.
I will share it starting up when I can. Thanks soooooooooooooo Much!
 
Can someone tell me what's wrong? I insert my Sd card that has the ini file and hda file into the bluescsi and I plug the bluescsi into the portable but the power light only turns on when the external power bridger is in place and the act light never lights up. Also there is no log file on the sd card.
Thanks!
