Where does this laptop connector go?
February 16, 2011 7:12 AM
The screen of a friend's HP Pavilion DV1000 no longer turns on after he dropped it. My dad is currently having a look at the laptop to see if he can fix it but upon reassembling it he has found a loose 3 pin connector that he can find no obvious place for. I have taken a photo of it and indicated whereabouts on the laptop it is located. Anyone got any ideas?
The display cable is next to that cable. see the black pull tape?
Kinda looks like the 3 wire fan cable from 5-49 of the manual.
Might be nothing. some laptops have unused cables to support options in other models - cameras or card readers for instance. I'd trace it back to see what its connected to just to be sure.

Thanks for the responses. I think aso's suggestion that it is a redundant cable is likely correct.
