 |
|
I have a car navigation dvd drive system and the internal dvd drive has
died. I finally found another system to replace it but would very much
like to identify the pinouts on this beast. The ATAPI (IDE) dvd drive
connects to the system via a 50 pin flat flex cable. The only tools I
have to help with this are
1. multimeter - not helpful because if you put one probe on say, pin 1,
of the cable, many of the connectors on the board give solid beep and
some give intermittent beeps! (of course, no power is going to the
board or drive.)
2. cheapo logic analyzer, usb and pc/laptop based, but it only has 16
pins. very difficult to use.
3. 4 channel analog (non storage) o'scope, 150 mhz.
I would like to replace this dvd drive with a solid state drive, like an
SDHC card or USB thumb drive but must identify the pinouts first to
know how to connect it to the adapters.
In the future, I may use this system in my OBAM Mustang II.
Thanks!
