    How do you tell if its OEM?

    I bought two new a while ago off ebay (not Hong Kong) used one no problem, just not the other. I bought the cf-29 caddy to use with it, but it wouldnt work.

    Upon inspection, the part of the ribbon connector plug that attaches to the computer is taller than the cf-29 ones I had, but identical to the cf-18 ones, so I guess I got a cf-18 ribbon instead.

    I can get a picture uploaded tomarrow if that helps.

    That explains it, and $25 is correct.

    Thanks
