I Have this Hp envy m6 w101dx.you have to lift the laches in the area where the keyboard holds the drive inside.The ribbon cable is hard to reach so i can put it back in to place to get my harddrive running again.Any tools i need to get the ribbon in the hard to reach corner.I know that the computer tech guys use a tool to reach it so the cable fits in secure.Going to school for this field.Not sure what tool is needed to get that ribbon in to the slot.I would hate to bust something up & ruin the notebook.Any long enough tweezers to reach the ribbon slot so i can reconnect it.It's simple to do.Don't have the tool.What's the name of the tool.Is it just a tweezer.Point me to Amazon or ebay to find that item.

You put back that ribbon cable by hand. For you to do that, you must remove the entire laptop keyboard first then unscrew the hard disk from it's place to be able to lift it and expose the SATA connectors. The ribbon would then be easy to connect once you see everything clearly.
