My hard drive died, ordered a new one and installed it. I am still getting the question mark and folder icon. I boot up in recovery mode and my new hard drive does not show up. I have taken it apart and checked to make sure everything is connected.
As far as my laptop is concerned there is no hard drive. Any suggestions?
Is this a good question?

Sounds like your drive cable failed. You'll need this part: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Mid 2012) Hard Drive Cable - Apple P/N 923- 0084. Follow this IFIXIT guide: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2012 Hard Drive/IR Sensor Cable Replacement.
Before you toss out your old drive you may want to check it out, it maybe still good. Get a SATA to USB adapter to connect it to your system. At least recover your apps and data files using the migration assistant.
