Yeah, the wire & sheath mod has the advantage of easy reversibility, nothing is really altered. Once the pins are broken I'd try soldering a wire like the Korean, or conductive paint.

How I made it finally work OK (the pics aren't mine, but I did a very similar job) . First, to bridge AK4 - AN11 I used very thin enamelled copper …

This tool has worked wonderfully for me aligning NTFS WinXP partitions in CFs & SSDs. I'm now thinking about also aligning the HDD for extra optimisation & speed. But I'm not sure if the aligning would FUBAR the FAT32 Win98 partition in the HDD. Never done this before. Paragon doesn't mark the FAT32 …
