Default How to Correct Poor Hard Drive Power Connector Contacts?

Another means of repair, if you have the ability, is to actually cut the
cable at the connector, attach a known good connector to the existing wires,
securely solder and apply insulating tape to the new connections.
This is a viable fix, the other means would be replace the power supply,
the new supply will come with new connectors attached.


It's easy enough to fit new contacts if you have the right tools. That's much
easier.
