Pavillion N5470 Hard drive connector to motherboard needed

‎01-12-2009 02:07 PM

Greetings.

I hope someone can help me with this part i need for my old Pavillion laptop.

Its the hard drive ATA pin adapter to the motherboard, seems to be something like a 45 deg angled block. this connector sits at the base of the aluminum caddy.

I cannot install the hard drive without it

The Laptop is a Pavillion N5470

I think i have my facts straight,,but please let me know if i have gone astray.

I live in Mission British Columbia Canada

 

Best Regards

Hey dude. I've exactly the same problem!!! That has got to be the worst hard drive connection design in the history of the world. I don't know where mine fell. it's a completely useless design. I'm thinking of soldering a standard sata connector to my motherboard or i'll have to use some other sketchy methods. It sucks!!!
