Help with Alienware 17R4
When removing the hard disk cable from the motherboard I yanked the black cloth instead of the black ribbon and now the cable is slightly torn... I want to replace the HDD cable.
Is the cable proprietary to Alienware or will any Dell HDD cable suffice?

If it's just the Sata interposer cable that was broken then you can grab one from Parts-people or probably eBay.

Cables like this are usually custom designed for the particular laptop but it's possible that they used the same design for another Dell laptop. Can't confirm that though.
