I'm not quite sure what you mean, but all the power in a laptop goes through the motherboard. SATA connectors in a laptop are integrated in such a way that they provide power as well as data directly through the board. What problem are you having? If the HDD isn't being seen, cross-test that drive in a different system and/or a different HDD in that laptop.

Then it won't work

All hard drives require power - they require a power connector and a data connector

In a laptop it looks like one big connector but it gives it power and sata. There is only one port and one spot on laptops where hard drives go.

The OP is asking about a laptop. As I said, the power to laptop HDD are routed through the mobo. The SATA power connector is physically the same as in a desktop but not fed by any separate cable.
