[QUOTE="johnwd5, post: 826986, member: 58950"] It's not the ribbon cable IDE. There's a similar, slightly smaller black port, next to it, IDE shaped, it might be for the fan, I'm unsure, but it's on the edge of the logic board, and a thin black cable that runs down and connects to another cable which is joined to this IDE....anyway the cable that is joined to the "IDE" has come away from it, it's still connected to the other slim cable. I'm unsure how to translate, sorry !

It looks like an IDE shaped port. Any help is appreciated ! [/QUOTE]
