Successfully replaced Hard Drive cable

Mijn probleem

When I got the dreaded "flashing ?", I thought it was the Hard Drive and replaced the drive. That didn't fix the problem, so I assumed it was most likely the cable and ordered it from iFixit. To make the install a bit easier, I got the cable with the IR sensor/sleep LED bracket already attached. I also added electrical tape over and under the new cable to protect it.

Mijn oplossing

The repair was easy and went very well, and best of all, it fixed the problem. I booted the computer up in OS X Internet Recovery mode and restored the system. It's working fine.

Mijn advies

I'm a 73-year-old women. If I can do this, anyone can. Read the instructions, watch the videos, and just do it
