isolate pin 59 or 60, either of the last two .
do it by unsoldering that socket/ pin of the flexible plastic wiring
harness that goes from the caddy conector to the HD connector .
the hole is quite a bit bigger than the pin of the socket connector so just
unsolder it.
then clean the area around the pin with a X-acto knife.

this is much better than playing with the pins of the HD .
