    I am looking for a bad motherboard for a m18x r2 alienware. I need the HDD connector from it. Does anyone have what I am looking for? I can do the soldering no problem, just need the actual connector. I also need a HDD ribbon cable but only if I find the connector. PM me with what you got.

    If you get one of these try to clone these pieces with a 3d printer and sell it for your fellow forum pals

    3d printing is a little past my capabilities. I am working with a company to help identify a replacement for the connector. Hopefully someone here has a bad mobo they will sell cheap though. My laptop is definitely fixable. It POSTS just fine still so no other damage.
