Re: [Thinkpad] New 40G HDD on TP760XD using DM2000

no, it is pin #'s 3 and 4 on the header socket on the 17mm
HDD flex wiring "harness"..
59 & 60 is the wron pair at the wrong end..
want pics, just ask..

on ther trapezoid plug from flex wiring cable to thinkpad
socket it is pins 57 & 58..

i used to cut the traces..
then i desoldered and pulled the two offending metal parts
out of the header plug that is soldered to the flex wiring
(harness)..
