    I snagged an AOA 150 Bb from ebay with the dreaded black screen problem and no hard drive.
    After a certain amount of fiddling I managed to get it booting again, to the point where it complains about a lack of drive (hooray), Now it's time to find a drive for it. The connector on the MB is a SATA of some kind, but looks smaller than standard from what I remember, slimline or mini perhaps, so what cable do I need for this? Or does the drive just plug straight onto the header?

    Should just plug right in to the connector. It may have been slimmed down to fit the chassis, but it works with standard laptop SATA drives.
