dafivehole Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 So I'm doing the Atarimax Happy upgrade on my 1050 and everything's going great until I go to reconnect the wiring... of course I pulled them off without paying attention and the pictures on the PDF file don't look anything like my connectors (see pictures). I sent Atarimax an email but I was wondering if anyone here has the same connectors and can help me reconnect these correctly without damaging anything? Thank you in advance, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Your drive has the World Storage mechanism rather than the Tandon.

dafivehole Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yes, I saw that on the drive... is that a bad thing? The drive has run like a champ for some time... Thanks, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 As far as I know there's not much difference in reliability between the Tandon and World Storage drives, just different manufacturing locations for each type. I added a link to a posting with a picture in my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafivehole Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) The wire colors in that picture are the same as mine... can I just match up the wire colors in that order and plug them back in?!? Thanks, Roger UPDATE: I went ahead and copied that wire pattern and it worked perfectly! I now have a Happy 1050 !!! Thank you Bill !!!

+DrVenkman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Glad you got things working. One of the first things I decided, when I saw the maze of spaghetti inside the 1050 with the 7 or 8 different cable harnesses in three locations around the board, was take multiple pics of things BEFORE I start screwing around with them, lol!
