You could avoid the hassle by getting the HP part from amazon HP  Envy 6017B0421501 [URL] [IMAGE]HP envy or Dell 3050 Micro Cable
I signed up just to post an update to an old topic from read-only post: "Inspiron 3050 Micro Desktop SATA Cable" ([URL]#M985463) that in Oct 2020 just a few moments ago, part # HM06J is still available to order for $1.99. I ordered right from chat using the link in [NAME] 's post on page 2. I said hello, pasted the part number, had to go through the formality of entering my Service Tag number but was immediately presented an option for an available part for $1.99. I said I'll take two and proceeded to place the order. My order summary came to $3.98 with $0.28 tax and $0 shipping!. So $4.26 total and should be at my doorstep in a few days (estimate 09 Oct). Vaishnavi was super helpful and I didn't encounter any issues with explaining what I was there even at 0230 (AM) Eastern time (I'm a night owl). That's way better than the $30 from the sellers on Ebay (shame). My i3050 is barely used and actually back in the box sitting in storage. I only used it for a few months after upgrading to a 128GB M.2 SSD and maxing out the RAM before building a custom, higher-end HTPC. I figured I'd take out my i3050 and play with it a bit just because. Gotta love finding answers on old forum posts! Thanks everyone on there.
