nope the gide is not geting in to the holes it is so bad and i can not see how off it is

 

It could be bent , as I said the connector is a bit loose normaly
You might have to straighten it

im just going to take the back off and see what is going on and fix it this is going to be fun

 

well crap i was jumping the gun it only felt like it was not now i got to play wiht this ocz compound crap crap carp o and thay call this a heat sink bull pie now i got to do some thing for this

 

If you have the bottom cover off to see whats up you really do need the battery in place for line-up as the cover holds the connector in place

it was working the hole time just not flush as i played wiht the packing in the caddy u dont need the bat at all

 

Mine requires that it be reinserted with some authority, but not abusively...

 

well i think i my have broke it in to i was bashing the hell out of it for a good 2 hrs toughbook = jarhead proof ha ha ha to a point just wate tell thay let me have those blasting caps u are going to be in a world of hurt if u act up 1 more time

 

Ah...SATA conversion? Did any of the original foam get trimmed/removed? Did that 90 Deg of metal also get pulled? I slowly put mine back together gently pressing the drive into the foam as I put it back. I also cheated and bent those hooks to hold the connector in place.
