We have to make an account there to see pics, so maybe upload them somewhere free hosting for us to see here. If anyone with more hardware and spec knowledge sees a problem here let me know and correct me anywhere that I am misguided. Laptop also has SD card reader, thunderbolt mini_DP, ethernet, and firewire 800 if that helps. Http /If anyone has any products or fixes in mind lemme know, Im open to anything. Http /Then the final piece of the puzzle, allows me to replace the optical drive with a 2.5 HDD: Http /And this that converts the sata to a mini pci e:
I found this, that seems to adapt mini pci e to a usb port: From there I can connect a powered hub to see if it will support and mount multiple devices. Optical drive to HDD caddy, hdd to mini pcie caddy, mini pcie to USB 3.0 converter, a ugly usb wire hanging out of my optical slot haha.
I know they will be inside but I will fix that on my own. My plan was to remove my optical disc drive, replace it with a board, or a set of boards, that will convert the internal SATA data and power to 1 or more USB female ports.
The issue is purely hardware based, a SMD component on the motherboard is missing. I have a MacBook Pro 13" early 2011 I got for a steal with 2 broken USB ports. There are usually four screws in total.I know this is a very rare and strange request, and I understand it will take a bunch of parts and a lot of time to get working. Use the four screws (provided with the optical drive or case) to hold the drive securely in place. To identify where the drive should be, push it in until the screw holes on one side line up with the round screw holes on the bay’s sidewalls. The front of the drive needs to be flush with the case (flap-free models) or slightly further back for cases with flaps in the front. The optical drive gets pushed into the case from the front, and that is where removing the front panel comes into play. Other cases require you to screw the drive into place from the sides. If you have a screwless drive bay design or one with runners, consult your computer manual for full instructions. Those models require removal of the front panel in most situations. Some cases, such as those found in select ASUS computers, have flaps on the front to hide the optical drives from view. Step 1: Fit the Device into the Drive Bayįirst, find and fit the optical drive into a spare 5.25-inch drive bay within the case.
