My Problem

My hard drive crashed. I bought a new one, but when I put it in the notebook it wasn't being recognised. However it was recognised when plugged into a USB port. I diagnosed the problem as being the hard disk cable.

My Fix

Followed the instructions exactly and was done in 15 minutes.

My Advice

Stay cool. This kind of minor surgery on your Macbook is really easy and can be done by nearly everyone with the iFixit guides.
