I picked up another powerbook yesterday for 30 bucks because it wouldnt turn on, it turned out to be a ground issue and it was back on its way to working, the disk in the hard drive is broken (very obvious) im going to order a new one, but i took another hard drive out of a dell, and plugged it in, but it still doesnt bring up the hard drive when i try to "select a destination to install OS X. So i know that the hard drive i put in works, and i can hear it spinning, so im hoping that it just has something to do with the ribbon cable that goes from the hard drive to the motherboard, and not the pluggin on my motherboard. So does anyone know where i could get a replacement ribbon? i looked on ifixit.com and they only have the cd/dvd ribbon.
Thanks
