i have a cheap laptop that i have been working on, testing different things, and i came across this problem.
It has integrated storage (emmc) and a sata port (unused). i found which cables were 5v, groud, a+,a-,b+,b-, and soldered them to a female sata and power conector. When i boot the laptop, it does not detect the hard drive and it does not start spinning. i also tried with an ssd and neither of them worked. sorry for my bad english, i’m from argentina.
