Sounds like the previous owner did not pay attention when they did 
their disassembly, and lost some bits along the way...

No, that is impossible, as there is no HD cable in a 2400c.

First of all, where are you?

Check the mac2400 site, as it lists folks (myself included) who will 
do repair/upgrade work on the 2400c. Contact the one(s) closest to 
you and see if they can help. (URL in List sig)

If you are anywhere near Seattle, I am willing to have a look at it, 
and at least tell you what, if anything, is missing. If you are 
willing to pay the shipping, I'll have a look too.

I can not assure you of the availability of parts, if indeed 
something is missing... so I can't promise to repair the unit.

There remains a possibility that nothing is missing and the shop you 
brought it to does not know how to assemble a 2400c. It was a rare 
beast, and few Apple dealers have seen one, much less worked on one.
