I got that it couldnt find my hard drive on my dell dimension 4100 an so with the power off I changed the power cables around.  Know it wont show any life at all I tried a differnt pc in the spot an it works an so does the HD.  I have a multimeter but dont remember how to test the power.

So it seems but when you want to use something you just want to use it an not deal with fixing it.  I need you on another matter not sure if you can do it though.
