"Completing this guide requires rubber cement to stick the old thermal sensors to your new hard drive." Is this on the reverse of step 21/20?

I just recently installed a Kingston SSDNow V200 128GB with the iFixit dual hard drive kit, set up a core storag logical volume in terminal. Since then the mac freezes after about 5-10min of usage. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up and I have to hard reset the mac. Does this have something to do with the data chunks which have to be moved? I already tried splitting up the drive, format and reinstall. No luck...

i installed the 500 gb hdd under my new ssd and when the 500gb is working im hearing working noise, not loud but before i installed the kit, there was no noise.

Also, Will any SSD that fits phisically work?

Can the motherboard be repaired? If so, can anyone recommend a company to do this?

Thanks.

So, the question is, will a $799 mini that is configured from Apple in a single-drive configuration include the second cable as well, or not?

I partially disassembled the mini and checked the seating of the ribbon cable connector to the logic board. The connection seemed fine. The Mac mini boot successfully to the stock internal HDD. I then launched Disk Utility again, and the spinning beach-ball appeared for several minutes. The SSD then mounted, but the partition was greyed-out. I clicked on the partition and the spinning beach-ball re-appeared, the system hung---and after several minutes of staring at the hypnotic rainbow ball, I powered off the Mac mini.

I then disassembled the Mac mini again, carefully checked the iFixit ribbon cable's connection at the SSD, and applied a small square of Kapton tape to ensure ribbon cable was secure to the SSD surface. I re-assembled the Mac mini, taking extra care to once again properly seat the ribbon cable to the logic board. I booted successfully to the stock internal HDD once again, launched Disk Utility and ......no SSD was recognized by the system.

I decided to remove the iFixit ribbon cable from the equation, and replaced the stock internal HDD with the SSD and installed the stock internal HDD in an external USB enclosure. I booted without issue to the stock HDD Recovery partition and was able to successfully install 10.7 to the SSD.

Is there anything else to try before I have this cable replaced? I've taken my brand new Mac mini apart several times during my troubleshooting and would like to prevent doing that again frivolously.

Thanks in advance!

I’m using a Netgear DGM100 modem/router, with a PowerMac G5 (10.5.8 as OS) physically connected to it and experiencing no problems at all.

Hey man

Thanks Dan, I thought I had screwed the board as well, lucky for me I missed all the important parts.

I've fixed it, problem Solved. Well to start with I noticed I had pulled the wires out the other day from the little plastic fan connector, as I told you these popped back in easy enough. trouble was though I had put 2 of them wrong way round. instead of A.B.C.D, I DONE A.C.D.B, easy swap. My fan is as quiet as a mouse now Excellent, Fair enough still have that loose screw but it aint doing any harm, as it was a clean snap, and lucky for me it isn't a main connection, just a prop apple said, so they could work around the fan. I am going to leave it as Dan said, as it will be easier to work with later need I change fan in future. All 3rd party stuff is uninstalled, and its amazing how quiet it is. trouble is before I put it back in I spent hours tiring to get that screw out the metal standoff no way it s budging, so if I ever getnew fan I will saw it off and make a home made stand off. Thanks to Everybody on here for help. I need to post this fix, as it is so easy to pull them wires out, if you think you pull it out, instead of lifting it out, out wedging it out. Pew Glad that's over. On to MacBook Pro now, Who know what that will throw at me.

All the best for now
