| Personally I'm not quite sure since I don't have the schematics in front of me, but this site is a goldmine of information when it comes to Mac portables and fixing them. http://www.ifixit.com/cart/catalog/

| Most likely those are the IDE (interface) cables for the drive(s), unless I misunderstood what you're describing. If those are the IDE cables, then what they "do" is carry the data to/from the drives.

| Those goto the power board they are what makes the mac power up and stay running along with changing your battery. If you shouted them hope to god that it did not kill you main board. You could try to find a Power inverter board with the calbes on Ebay. And just hope that it will power up. Other wise you have just deep sixed your laptop there.
