HDD part needed.

[APoc184]

I am desperately looking for a SATA HDD caddy connector for a HP Laptop.

I had the laptop @ a repair shop and they buggered me around so I fetched it and decided to fix it myself. (It was only the HDD that was kaput).

I got the new HDD last night, unscrewed the panel covering the HDD and surprise surprise the old HDD is not there and neither is the caddy connector.

Shop closed down, so there is no way I am getting my stuff back.
The HDD does not connect to the mobo without this connector.

Please let me know where I can find this. Or if you have a stuffed up HP lying at home please PM me urgently. I will buy it from you(the connector, not the laptop). Will also pay for shipment if you are not in Gauteng.

Really really desperate.

PS. Thanks to JUGGY for all the help up to this point

They can't help me.
They say I need to buy a new HP branded HDD @ 3 x the price a paid for my Seagate. The HP HDD comes with this connector but they do not sell it separately.
