My Problem

I have a mid 2010 macbook pro. I had earlier replaced my HDD with SSD and system was zipping but one fine day , I guess after around year and half of SSD change I saw ? on booting up pro.

My Fix

I thought SSD crashed, I tried everything like cold boot, trying with OPTION key and what now. Finally I opened the book and plugged out SSD and put it in a external USB casing and tried to boot, system booted up fine so the SSD failure was ruled out. Later I researched on net and found problem could be either with SATA cable or logic board. I crossed my fingers and ordered SATA cable from ifixt and these guys delivered it in flat 2 days, i changed the cable and bingo system was running fine.

My Advice

I suggest you buy the cable with lock as it is easy to replace. handle cable very very delicately as slight bend can make it go bad. I think my earlier mistake was that I was careless and saw earlier cable was slightly bent so probably it failed.
