So has anyone run into this problem before? Does anyone know if there is a replacement connector available, or what its part number is? Or where it connects? Or how to replace it? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?
I have not run into this before, myself. However, I have heard of people in (low-end) datacenters who use superglue to keep the SATA cables from disconnecting from the drives due to the high-vibration environments. You may want to try putting your older, slower (less likely to shake itself loose) drive back in and see if the problem persists. If it does, then your connector is probably shot. If your connector is bad, you might have to replace the motherboard to fix it (unless you're handy with a soldering iron and can find the part on digikey.) If the problem is just that the drive is being unseated (and not still in the connector but making a poor connection,) I'd go with the glue, or some other method of securing the drive in place. -Mark _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
