data cables for floppy drives can be real problems. Insert them and get them one pin off and nothing goes. I had that happen with a floppy drive and remember moving the connector over just slightly when putting it in on the second attempt then the drive came up and worked. If the light goes on and the drive is just dead otherwise you may have to move a little more. I remember when I was one pin off, I got a seek error on the drive so I knew I was in the ball park by then and kept going in the same direction and was successful. The cable end you attached onto the drive itself is what can be moved and needs adjusting. The connector on the back of the drive is like what goes into parallel port slots though maybe not so long on the computer I worked with and my drive did the same thing because I had the wrong set of contacts connected. Hope this helps.
