Ran great for months, put 64gb of RAM in, and it recognized!  Then one day, I come home from work to hear the fan going full blast, way louder than any time leading up. The display wasn’t working, so I forced the power off and opened it up. The little clips on each side of that connector? It holds a latch for the hard drive’s ribbon adapter, which was frayed up. I tried to reinsert it, but it’s too damaged to go into the connector on the motherboard. So I find another one for sale, but it won’t sit in the port either, apparently the chip in the plastic was just enough to cause the ribbon to come out. No matter what customer support suggested, it stayed full blast. Of course, it was just after having it a year, which I was told is when support ends, so there was no way to make it right. I eventually had to break down and buy a replacement.
