[QUOTE="johnwd5, post: 826945, member: 58950"] Hello all. I just bought a g4 imac for a cheap enough deal to go for it (wife likes the shape); specs are 700mhz/256mb ram. Anyway, it had no hd and I have a spare 40gb here. I've opened the base and even though I was careful the slim cable that seems to go into an IDE has come away. Obviously this is bad - is it repairable ? It seems to me that the cable going into the ide seems to prevent the opposite connector (looks like a solid "ide plastic piece" conecting flush in order to close. I installed the 40gb but as is typical with me I have a machine in semi-repair state. Can anyone advise ? I can't find too much in the way of this issue. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
