Won't boot after reconnecting SSD
Hi there, I recently wanted to see how easy it would be to replace the ssd in my retina MacBook Pro, after going pretty much to the end of the guide which was before removing the ssd from its "caddy" thing then put it back together and it won't boot past the apple logo, and the disk says it can't be repaired in disk utility, any ideas? :(
Is this a good question?

Thanks for your answers guys!! I tried everything and still nothing, I used all the correct precautions as in ESD safe equipment, still nothing but luckily had a bootable thumb drive and reinstalled the OS X which has fixed the issue but seems weird that just doing what I did ended up like this! Thanks again!

Most likely you still had it powered (Sleep mode) so when you pulled the battery or ribbon cable you scrambled the SSD as the system still had open files. You can do the same thing pulling a thumb drive out while it's in the process of reading or writing (don't recommend you try this just an FYI). You were lucky! In any case.
