ZIF flip cable

I want to mod my One with a 30GB hard drive.
I have a 1.8" HITACHI HTC426030G5CE00 which, I believe, requires a flip cable for the ZIF interface.
However, I cannot seem to locate any.
Does anyone know where I can get one (or two) of these?

 

Aparrently we´re in the same boat
I feel stupid because I purchased the stupid thing for $23 on ebay 10 minutes before discovering it wouldn´t work.

 

Have you seen this.

It may help ;-)

Also this thread discusses what you are trying to do.

If you want ZIF cable then just ebay search using "ZIF cable" this will show loads of China and HongKong sellers with what you need.

 

I think I´ll need a video tutorial or an expert for this mod. I ordered the stupid Hitachi C4K60 from ebay. Do you think you can search ebay for a cable that will work and give me the link so I can purchase it knowing that it will work?

P.D. QUE VIVA LA FURIA ROJA!

 

kaffeboy,

I bought a standard ZIF cable off ebay (pack of 5 for approx. GBP5 incl. postage from Hong Kong).
I then modded one of the cables (I had 4 to spare anyways).
I simply took of the hard blue plastic flap and sanded that side with some very fine grain (P320) sandpaper. It took about 5 mins of light sanding until the metallic points started to show up. After about 10 mins of light sanding I had a 'custom' flip cable. It's really quite a simple mod to do. You just have to be patient when sanding. I've got my 30GB Hitachi working on the AA1 now.

 

Woah! Thanks bro. Thats exactly the tutorial I needed!
