Repair Stories
The mac could not see the hard drive and we had just replaced it with a stateless drive.
The repair went great as my son followed a short explanation video online. Took only 25 minutes or so and saved a TON like $75.00.
Just make sure you are ordering the correct part. We did our research and got expe . . .
I've run into this problem a bunch of times across several MBPs. I don't know why I keep running into faulty SATA cables, but at this point I'm a pro at replacing them.
The repair went well, but the cable has failed again. I'm not looking at other vendors for a different cable.
The repair is very eas . . .
Mac didn't boot, couldn't find the drive, a new-ish SSD I had installed previously. Sure enough, when plugged into another computer, the drive showed up, leading me to believe the culprit was the cable.
Easy, remove back plate, remove old cable, slap in new cable, screw on back plate. Realize the you . . .
Computer would not boot - showed file folder with X.
Instructions were well written with pictures. Most difficult task was reinstalling Hard Drive Cable hold down screws.
None needed.
My cable connecting the harddrive to the computer was faulty. But I didn’t know that. All I saw was a folder with a question mark flashing on my screen. Fortunately or unfortunately, this happened twice before so I knew what I had to do (or hoped I was correct).
I ordered the device. It came on tim . . .
My computer crashed and without any knowledge I was up a creek without a paddle. However I went to the Apple store so they could run a diagnostic on my computer. The gentleman that helped me suggested I go through ifixit.com in order to solve my problem. Thankfully the crashed computer wasn't anythi . . .
Harddrive cable fix.
The repair was quite easy because I fixed it before.
The only advice is to make sure you disconnect the battery cable just in case power goes through while you're fixing any wires and dont want to short circuit any other wiring.
The computer would no longer boot and came up with a folder with a question mark in it.
The repair was not hard, but a little tedious getting the ribbon cable in place and making the 90 degree bends and sticking it to the bottom of the hard drive area. It was difficult to place the hard drive back i . . .
My laptop is in very good condition, but for this one fault.
I didn't do the repair, but the man who did said the instructions were excellent and that it all went smoothly.
Not really!
The computer refused to boot with the familiar folder with the? in the middle. This was obviously a bad hard drive right - NOT! OK motherboard right, no. This is tricky to diagnose in that you have to physically remove the hard drive, not a problem on the 2012 MacBook Pro. Drive OK motherboard . . .
