My Problem
Hard drive went out (so I thought), bought a 500gb and installed it only for it not to be recognized. Plugged in with an external SATA to USB and found the hard drive was good. Bought an internal SATA cable off IFIXIT, installed in minutes, hard drive is up. and I was able to use the backup from the old hard drive with the USB/SATA and recover all my old stuff. MUCHAS GRACIAS I FIXIT!!!! Oh and thanks for the sticker one more for my truck.
My Fix
Part fit great, pulled the bracket off the old one and went in with zero problems.
My Advice
Apple reps estimated my costs to be in the $300-400 range! I got the cable and hard drive for less than $50. Best advice is to get the SATA/USB cable and you can amaze your friends whilst fixing their "crashed hard drive".
