Did you try both ribbon cables? One from the old drive, and one from the new one?
Briefly looking online, a replacement ribbon cable (L shaped?) appears generic and covers many model numbers
Sort of; each device kept their own ribbon cable which meant I tried both, but not on the same device. I’ll look into that, thanks!
Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!
