Thanks

So you connect adapter in place. Then where it connects
Apply a line of glue.
So part is on SSD and part is on adapter

Or you just put a few drops. ?

I assume no glue on the actual pins themselves ?

Yes - you don't apply the glue where it connects, but rather over the connection ... or you can put 2 large drops (one on either end/side). When it solidifies, it will hold both in place.

Non on the pins, please!!! You shouldn't even be able to see the pins once they are locked in firm. Unlike standard glue (which you apply to both surfaces which you want held together), this glue acts like you would use tape ... over the surfaces to hold both pieces together - and it can easily come off with some extra pressure. It is actually already used inside AUDYA to hold some cables and fixtures together.

Leezone,
I've just installed mine recently on the A5, all I did was added one or two washer on the side of the plate where the two screws are to hold the plate firmly in place.. As for the attachment area between cable and SSD unit itself, I don't think it will detach itself less some really serious shakin goin on..
I didn't experience any of Henni's problems luckily enough, but do remember to test the unit before closing it.
Good luck..
Ky

I think I'll do 3 drops of the heat gun
One on each end and one in the middle of adapter/SSD
I think that should do it

and Snoopy, did you use a glue gun?

if not, you think you'll open your audya and add some glue drops to adapter?

Hi Leezone,

No, even whilst testing it before closing up, I experienced same, & no matter how much I wiggled it, the symptoms would remain. I decided just to live with it. Last night took 4 starts to boot. Maybe I'll open up later & attempt to glue in place,.

All the best mate,

Henni

You sure you skip the 4 or 6 pins on LEFT side?

Yup,

I did else it would not work at all. It's a real pity they do not make a smaller, lighter adapter for it.

You know what, I'm considering more & more mounting it on the OUTSIDE of the Audya. That way file transfers will be faster & at least it can be accessed when giving problems. I must start to look out for a longer ribbon cable.

hmm,

on the outside?
maybe on left in front of joystick?
but a more permanent enclosure would be cool, maybe something to match the AUDYA perfect, silver metal like
