Hi

Did you break the little hold down clip ???

If so you have two choices.... new motherboard.....OR ...carefully tape it down....

If you tape it.....you must make sure it has enough PRESSURE to make good contacts....

Do you have two hard drives in the cage? The service manual indicates the first disk is connected to the other connector. Primary hard disk must be installed in the drawer labeled 0.
