SSD not recognised

[thewall]

I'm updating a MacBook 2.1 running 10.6.8, i have installed 4gb ram and now i'm trying to install a SSD followed all the info and but the MacBook will not recognise the new SSD , it does not show in Disk utility or when i put in OS disk there is no drive to install.
I have put the Ssd in caddy and it worked ok and i have installed OS
I have reinstalled the old 500gb HD and reinstalled OS and that's working good,

I have tried several times to run the new SSD to no avail HELP PLEASE

You could try resetting the NVRAM and SMC with the SSD in the machine.

Took palmrest off today to get a closer look as to why it won't connect, found that one off the metal strips under the HD caddy think they maybe an earthing strip had been bent a twisted when i extracted the Hd straightened out and now everything works great happy days
