Is it possible to swap SSD from bad laptop to good laptop?
My late 2011 MBP i7 will not boot up. I've tried every trick I could find to get it to boot and nothing. I bought an early 2011 MBP i5 on auction thinking I could simply swap the 1TB SSD over and everything would work hunky dory. I get the blinking folder after a few minutes on the working laptop. I put the original HDD in and it's fine. Is there something I can do to get this to work? I have years of data on the SSD I'd love to be able to access again...preferably on the working laptop. I could put the SSD into an external case, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Is this a good question?
