My 1TB Samsung 850 EVO Fails to boot internally

So, about a month a go i bought a Samsung 850 EVO (1TB) . Suddenly my new SSD starts to boot very slow and at some point will freeze up my laptop.

Probable bad hard drive cable. Replace with a new one from the 2012 13" model. Buy a new cable only!

No you already have the bracket. You just flip up the cable lock on it, use a pocket knife to unstick the board and replace it.
