[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1758717, member: 131855"] I did this a few years ago on a 2008 MacBook Pro. When I replaced the drive it either didn't work or worked intermittently. Meanning to replace the cable I ordered a replacement. When it arrived I realized this was the wrong cable. Since I had the old cable I reconnected it and it has worked ever since. Apparently in the process of making the connection the first time I had dislodged the cable from the logic board just enough to prevent a good connection. I free cable is a good idea but this may be as simple as a loose connection. [/QUOTE]
