Does anyone have an idea where to source the ribbon that connects the hard drive adapter to the motherboard? A Google search is turning up everything except this cable. I have a G73. Thanks

Not sure if this will work:

Its for the G74, but perhaps one of the other forum gurus could say for sure whether it will work with the G73?
I can't find any HDD ribbon cables fro the G73 models on ASUS' estore.

I've never heard that the G73 needs an accessory cable. Are you sure it does?

Where to get hard drive adapter ribbon?
