Hardware can't get wii drive power cable back in

[Damian1221]

hey guys hopefully someone can help me out here.

I ordered a wiikey2 presoldered to the wiiclip v14 and it arrived today, I got my wii open no problem and have got the chip attached but I can't the white power cable that you have to pull it to remove the drive back in for the life of me. Is there some trick to it or am I completely missing something? please someone help me out!

Use a high power magnifier and look inside the connection, I had the same problem and a 10X showed me a slightly bent pin which prevented all 12 pins to align properly and actually shorted out when I pushed the connector together. ( 2 pins in the same slot )
