Source For LE1600 ZIF HDD Cables

[1LoudCutty]

Took me forever to find one as I bought a LE1600 that needed repaired for $10 and it was missing the HDD connector.

Turns out it was a hard item to track down. There are 2 options.

pchub.com/uph/laptop/588-42815-9954/UPH-For-Laptop-Other-Brand-HDD-Cable---OEM.html

Which the payment for the place posted to the UK. The item was drop shipped from somewhere in China I believe. Tooks about 2-3 weeks for delivery which was ok.

Option 2 is ebay,

cgi.ebay.com/Hard-disk-ZIF-Cable-of-Motion-Computing-LE1600-for-SSD_W0QQitemZ300358471806QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Def aultDomain_0?hash=item45eec2907e

Im pretty sure Option 1, the item was coming from the same place. I was going to purchase it from Option 2 on ebay (im an ebay junkie!!) but the last one sold an hour before I decided to buy it there for $40.. Another day on google turned over Option 1 for cheaper too!!

Thought this might help someone who has the same problem or someone who wants the ZIF connector for a SSD or better aftermarket HDD choices.

Until I get some cash for a nice SSD, I bought a CF adapter and ST1 Microdrive off ebay for the time being. I dont use much HDD space anyway as I normally just use my tablets for surfing the web and OBD2 tuning and diagnostics in my cars.
