HP 15-dw3065st 15.6" Notebook
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a 1TB Western Digital Blue SSD, new, that I would like to install in the empty bay of my new HP 15-dw3065st 15.6" Notebook.

 

Can't find where to attach the small end of the cable. There is an empty connector on the board nearby labeled "JHDD" up near what looks like (and is labeled) the WLAN. I've seen videos of other disassembles and there was a SATA connector in the 2.5" bay on the board at the top of this first image, but not in mine.

 

I cannot see the images I uploaded when looking at the regular page, so here are the dropbox links

Important! When you get your ribbon cable it must be 8 PIN! The one I got is 10 pin(?) and no amount of jamming will get it it fit and lock.
