Me three, those pins shouldn't be connected afaik on a SATA drive anyway. And no way could that cind of damage have been done if the drive was installed in it's bay. Bending the SATA connecter down that way needs someone to yank down really hard on the cable; force enough to do that would demolish even a G5 case. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
