[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1577386, member: 320225"] I've just looked through pics of my optibay installation, and remembered - there was a black flat pcb connector going over the top of the optical drive, rather tricky one too - I'm sure you've plugged it back in correctly, but thought I mention it anyway. Also the mini-SATA-7+6 lead for the optical drive, worth checking if it is seated properly on the main board. If all the above bits are OK, then a faulty optibay adapter is looking more and more likely ... Mine was just a simple unit, pretty sure these all are the same, regardless of a name: [IMG]http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab278/DashCamDave/MacForums/IMG_0586-3_zpse1cd1a8e.jpg[/IMG] the connectors I was talking about: [IMG]http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab278/DashCamDave/MacForums/IMG_0587-3_zps4533c84a.jpg[/IMG] after install: [IMG]http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab278/DashCamDave/MacForums/IMG_0588-3_zps081fdc85.jpg[/IMG] Apologies for horrible pics - it was late and iPhone 4 'flash' is rubbish ... well, that's my excuse anyway :P [/QUOTE]
