Only half a story, I have had my box for over a year and am only now looking to fit an internal HDD. It was connected via USB but has died. I haven't got the cables that came with box anymore.

I tried a makeshift cable, but it doesn't work. The front light comes on but the display doesn't

you are going to need a SATA Combo Data Cable i can not remember what power connection the Solo2 uses but some use Molex like in PC's here is a link

Yeah that's the one I ordered. I ended up ripping the cables out of the molex and inserting them into a 4 pin connector in the same order as a picture of the correct cable. It only bloody works........ for now
