repair hack

I was trying to tidy up the wiring before putting the cover back on when the power connector snapped off. I was not happy, those shouldn't break like a Christmas glass ornament from Walmart. Fortunately it's just the power so I got a spare power extension cable, cut it off, soldered on 12v and 5v and 2 ground and it works.

Western Digital 4GB, it was fresh from RMA just 2 months ago to replace the first one that died outright. I'll probably have this one scrapped, I already ordered replacement non-WD drives as it seems WD is selling garbage that failed while in warranty and broke easily so soon after it was replaced.
