ingeneral a laptop has a cable that connect from the motherboard to the hdd. In the picture I've separeted into three parts that cable. a,b and c.

A - connection to HDD

B - the bodie (the cable itself)

C - connection to the motherboard.

if any of A,B or C fails, the whole cable fails.

you can find online replacement parts and order one made for your laptop.

***the cable is a separate bodie from the motherboard if you have broke the connection ON the motherboard, then mabie you ave to find alternatives to your conection ex. mSATA HDD Link form iFixit

Yours,

Oscar
