Hi Paul,
Your mains cable, from mains to PC that is, should be easy
enough to obtain locally. It is in fact similar to some
kettle leads.
The ribbon cable I referred to is a flat cable, about 2
inches wide, usually referred to as an IDE cable. It has
around 40 wires parallel to each other. One end connects to
the PC's motherboard, and there are usually two plugs
allowing you to connect up to two drives.
In order to get at this cable, you need to open the PC's
outer case. (Making absolutely sure the main cable is
removed first of course - not just switched off, but
removed!!)
By the sound of things, the end of this cable which plugs
into the motherboard may have come loose, and needs to be
pushed back in place.
George.

Hi Dorathy,
I do in fact have what looks like a swelling of the outer
cased on my tower
which oddly enough swelled out rather than in.
that said, I think the problem may be due to the fact that
my main cable
seems to be a little faulty and so I need to get a new one.
Can I obtain one fairly easirly?
Also can someone tell me what the Ribbon cable is as I don't
know.
Is this the same as the main (kettle flex) like cable?
Regards
Paul.
