Hard Drive Replaced; "No ATA Device"
I used the ifixit guide to replace the original dead 80 gb HD with a 120 gb from ifixit (Product IF107-073-1).
Upon starting up (on an external drive), System Profiler reports no ATA device present. I've double checked all connections and they are secure.
Any suggestions as to what to do now?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Does it see it as a Serial - ATA in the system profiler?

Nope, nor does anything show up in disk utility.

Will it still "see" the 80 GB drive? Why did you think it was dead?

Thanks for your response. Actually, I didn't check that when I had the 80 gb drive in. Awhile back, the MBA began running slowly and erratically. I tried running checking the drive with Disk Warrior, and it told me there was a hardware problem (forget the exact wording). Then Disk Utility said there was a fatal flaw in the drive. So that's when I cloned the info over to an external, and have been running off it.
