THANKS for the details @funkaddict . that really got me further. at the moment booting is just fine because all of the system is in running on SSD via DVD to SATA. [br]

@the12yrfixer 3 different cables didn’t help / all drives working via usb , so probably ill have to go down solder alley.
my soldering skills are just good enough to fix a headphone jack, not sure if i can perform that without any risk
do you think a intensive/investive repair like that is still worth it? i have doubts if i want to continue using that machine
ill take a look on the logic board and see if theres visible damage, keeping you posted
