DigMedia MusicStore Hard Drive Replacement

Введение

The MusicStore requires a small-capacity IDE hard drive - it fails to operate with a 20GB or larger drive, and with newer drives, it fails to detect its internal CD-ROM drive on startup as well. It has been tested to work with a random 4.3gb Toshiba IDE hard drive, so it can be extremely picky about which drives will work and which won't - but a working drive can be found. Keep in mind the MusicStore originally shipped with a 5GB hard drive.

Remove six Philips #2 screws from the bottom of the case.
REASSEMBLY CAUTION: To prevent thread stripping during reassembly, turn screws backwards slowly until you feel the screw thread drop into the original plastic thread, and only then, tighten screw normally but lightly - you're working with 20+ year-old plastics.

Carefully fold the top and bottom open, revealing a ribbon cable connecting the two halves.
Unlock and disconnect the ribbon cable. Unlock by pulling the lock lever evenly on both sides, parallel to the board surface (not lift/pivot), in the direction of the ribbon cable.
When this ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector is properly unlocked, the ribbon cable should just fall right out of the socket (no need to pull with any strength).
