    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    That part looked folded because of the camera flash. Besides the smudges I mentioned, the cable is in seemingly perfect condition. Regarding the front panel cable, I noticed the power and eject disc lights briefly turn on when I wiggle the cable, so it looks like it's not making full contact...
