Replacing a defective SATA drive cable (even on brand new laptop)
- Open the hard disk compartment and pull out the hard drive SATA cable on the motherboard side first.
- A small flexible handle is provided for that purpose, hold it firmly and pull the SATA connector straight up making sure not to tilt it
- Remove the hard drive from its compartment
Disconnect the large SATA connector on the hard drive
Compare well the motherboard SATA connector of the new hard drive cable you purchased and make sure it is the same.
- Plug the new SATA cable in the hard disk first and insert the drive in its place
- If the cable you purchased is longer, make it pass within the intended cable holders giving it a serpentine shape so it doesn't block the hard drive compartment cover.
- Close the hard disk compartment and refit the fixing screw.
