I tore this ribbon cable in upgrading the oem HDD. A search here in the forums yielded nothing but a single thread of which, like too many threads, a question was asked but an update was never left.
So for all of you who are finding this thread through a search, I am sorry you tore this cable. Personally it took nothing but a small tug in the wrong location.
I found the replacement part here and I imagine they have the same part for other models.

Only $39.95 - definitely a cost I can live with. Thought I'd have to buy another notebook...
