Laptop Hard Drive Connector

4 July, 201511 yr

Although I'm pretty good at using computers, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to the 'inners' of them.

I hope someone can help, My laptop hard drive cable is frayed and come away from the connector (see pics below).

Can anyone help me with what my options are to fix?

Did you do that getting the SSD in? <nevermind...> Look on eBay or similar for a replacement cable. Learn how the connector releases its grip on the ribbon cable and how to reclamp it afterwards.

I bought the laptop off eBay and it was already like this (I was informed), so was looking how to fix it.

A bit of an assumption here but...

Someone's installed an SSD and kicked the HDD into the second bay.

The cables/connectors are available on eBay.... But that is the only ad I found....

Also, there's an install vid on youtube... It's crap but it does mention a few issues/difficulties.

1.2 TSI loss of power

1.2 TSI loss of power

Papez · 2 July2 Jul

Hi, hopefully you won't mind my question here - I don't have an Octavia, but its close relative from a Spanish brand. But mechanically, they are same. Anyway, I have a 77kW CBZB. It worked flawlessly for the year I own the car, but when this summer started, I noticed occasional loss of power. It only happens in hot weather (around 30 degrees and up) with AC on. In most cases, it happened when I wanted to accelerate after mild climbing at lower gear at ~2000RPM. It feels almost like a limp mode

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here has come across this exact issue, because after 7 months and multiple visits, neither my dealer nor Škoda’s technical support has been able to identify the cause. Car: Škoda Superb Sportline, 2021, 200kW Problem: When braking, the side sensors intermittently trigger a warning that there is an obstacle very close to the car — even though there is nothing there. It happens sporadically (not every time I brake) What has already been done (all without success):

Looking at my first Skoda Scala - Question about servicing

fishsoup · 3 hours ago3 hr

Hi all, I'm looking to buy my first Skoda after years of bad experiences with Ford wet belts and ongoing reliability issues. I'm planning to buy used, and my main priority is finding a car that has been properly maintained throughout its life. At the moment I'm looking at a SkodaApproved Used Scala in the UK with the following spec: 2023 registration (August 2023) 1.0 TSI petrol, 115 bhp 27,500 miles I appreciate the mileage is slightly above average for the age of the car, but I'm assumi

CBBB engine. Will it drop off with car jacked or do i need lift? Its pretty high on engine bay so if its not possible to turn or twist there is no enough room if using jack? 300k miles soon and its started to smoke heavy when dpf burning starts. Also burning time is now approx 30-40 miles (before 10). Its old so im scared to use vagcom burning procedure. 350€ is cleaning here for removed dpf and garantee that cleaning is succesfully managed.
