4xEIDE'99 ?

Ya know, I've glanced at that product many times and never noticed that it stands on end like that. Does that even fit under the keyboard? Anyhoo, if it were me, I would simply lay it down using a cable like this....

Other than the mounting predicament, it appears to be a great product. Maybe give that cable a try - use different length for best suitability.

Hi sorry its very vulnerable as I found out when I have opened her up a few times the unit has gone over on one side only a small amount but it must have taken the pins with it and its got to the point now where it is not recognising it so it looks like a replacement EIDE 99 or I may have damaged the A600 but a cable would have probably helped so thanks my friend.

Well, all may not be hopeless... it might just be a cracked solder point on the IDE connector of the MB. again, if it were me, I would remove the MB and hit each IDE connector solder point with a soldering iron. Be sure to use flux, a clean soldering tip, and just enough heat and solder to melt each point and let them cool again.
 
 Inspect the IDE interface connection and repeat on it too, if necessary - but I doubt there would be anything wrong on the interface unless you might have really whacked it.
 
 Temporarily give it another try and see if this corrects the problem - if so, use a cable on the second go.
 
 I know, MB removal.... what a pain in the A$$.... :hammer:
