Hard drive lost all power

Hey guys, my hard drive just died on me the other day... there is no power whatsoever getting to the device and therefor not spinning and cant be recognized. I think it must be the piece that the cord connects to. Any ideas on what to do like is it possible to replace that piece or know of any good places to take it? GTA.

I'm assuming you tried the HD out with every available Molex connector, including swapping around and using the ones normally connected to other devices?

Outside shot, but try booting with 0 HD's connected, go to BIOS, and make sure that no HD's are listed. Then power back off, reconnect the HD, go back to BIOS, and see what shows up.

Beyond that, I think it's broken.
