Product: HP Envy 15
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
Hello everybody. I damaged my ZIF connector (I believe this is the name of it after researching online). In other words, this socket is where the cable from the hard drive is inserted into on the motherboard of my HP Envy 15. I counted 10 pins on the socket that are soldered to the motherboard. I'm trying to buy this connector online and have not been successful. I have solder skills, so replacing it won't be an issue. Can somebody confirm if the ZIF connector is the name of the socket? Would anybody know where I can get this socket? Any information would be helpful and thank you in advance.

Hi,

 

I don't think we call it as ZIF connector that why you can't find it. Now what is your machine ? Please use the following instructions to find out the model/product of your machine:

Thank you again. I'll save this parts list for future reference. Don't really want to purchase the whole motherboard. I'll see if I try something else.

Did you ever have success finding the ZIF connector, Frederick (that is indeed what it's called).
I've got a 17t-u100 with a PCI-e SSD and would like to solder a ZIF onto the other spot for a second HDD.
