Hey all,
My old laptop hasn't worked for awhile - lost the power cord, tried a different one, busted the power intake on the laptop... you know. Anyway trying to recover that data now, and I need some pointers.
The laptop drive is Samsung HM500JI. I was planning to connect it to my desktop PC, and I attached a spare SATA cable to the motherboard but I need power. The drive has 4 prongs for a very small power cord, maybe 1cm wide, and I'm not sure what cord I would need for that.
So first off: will this method work fine, and if so, what type of cord do I need; second, if this method is a bad idea what's my best bet?
Thanks!
