I had a Hitachi Deskstar 750G drive in my WiebeTech SilverSATA drive
bay. I pulled it out and when it came out, a little part fell off ==
I wrote Hitachi about it and they say the fact it fell off [I think
it was caught on some part ofthe drive bay and broke off when I
pulled it out]:

>websites below: [I'll skpp that for purposes of this Q]

Any suggestions on what to do other than send it out to someone for
what may be an expensive repair [unfortunately, there is data on the
drive but I don't know what, although I probably want to save it. If
there is a way to get the data off, I'd probably choose that] I would
think it's an issue of soldering the flex connector back on, but am
not sure.
