Congrats to all who've successfully fixed their drives! My cousin and I are attempting to fix his Seagate 7200.11, but we're having issues. We have a CA 42 (don't think its genuine Nokia...was made in China) cable with 3 wires - Green (GND), White (RX), Yellow (TX). Green --> GND Hdd White --> TX Hdd Yellow--> RX Hdd Also have a power supply with SATA connector going to the Hdd. Business card is in between PCB and head contacts. When we plug the usb into my laptop (Vista 64 bit) or my cousins netbook (XP) nothing happens. Windows doesn’t detect new hardware. What could be wrong? Do we need to supply power to the cable? If so, how? Pictures of the cable are below...
