HDD not recognized (flex cable and HDD tested and OK)
Hi!
My hdd is nog turning on (getting power) and can't be found by my macbook mid 2012.
I tested the HDD and the flexcable on another macbook and it is working properly.
When i boot i get the blinking folder error. When i connect the hdd using a usb enclosure , the hard disk is working fine.
My assumption is the hdd socket on the logic board is broke . Is there any way i can order this part, or get this fixed in a other way? If you think it is a other problem, im all ears! picture is included below
I bought the laptop thinking it was just the flex cable as it is a known fault. guess i was wrong...
thanks for your help!

Is this a good question?

Have you tested the laptop hard drives on another computer if possible?
By the way your serial number is exposed in the screenshot. You should hide all screenshots that show the serial number of the macbook.
Remember that you will need to install the MAC OS operating system again when changing hard drives. It will simply not boot by itself.
You can tell if the HDD is getting any power by turning the macbook on and touching the HDD to check for vibrations without putting any pressure on.
