laptop to ide converter

hey everyone. Anyways, I've bought 2 laptop harddrive to ide converters and neither of them work. The first one is spotty and fails half way though a kill disk wipe (arg). The second one, the laptop connector is too close to the solder and stops the connector from being pushing onto the laptop harddrive all the way. I have a customer waiting and the damn parts just won't work. I've spend $15 on parts so far and i'm really frustrated....anyone recommend one that works well?? Preferably from a larger online store (newegg, zzf, mwave...) or a b&m store thanks guys!!
