I was shifting some DVD burners around over the weekend, and the
plastic guide part on the SATA connector on one came off and stuck
inside the plug at the end of the cable. All the pins are still in
place, but of course there's no longer anything to hold the SATA cable
on. Anybody had any experience repairing something like this or even
replacing a SATA combination connector (data and power)?

This particular burner is a Lite-On LH-20A1S that's only about three
months old. It's a great burner and I'd hate to lose it.

Thanks for any help.

Larc

Just put the cable back on and epoxy it in place

Thanks philo and SteveH. I may have to resort to that. I'm taking
the burner in to a local computer shop tomorrow to see if they can
replace the connector, which I'd prefer if it can be done. But I'll
pick up a new angled SATA cable and "glue" it in if the connector
can't be replaced.

Thanks again.

If a repair shop could replace it...the price would probably be that of a
whole new burner.
If you glue a cable to it...the device is still 100% usable and can even be
moved to another machine...
so no functionality is lost by simply having a permanently attached cable
