Intermittent SSD problem - question mark - boot issue- macbook pro 2017

[Hici]

My 2017 macbook pro 13inch, A1708, without touch pad, has SSD disk problem. It can't find the SSD disk and fail boot process by popping up with infamous question mark issue. Problem is not permanent, but whenever I charged it more than a couple minutes, the problem occurs.

When problem happens, I dont see disk in recover mode to reinstall firmware. during the problem, when I run Apple diagnose, it shows SSD issue, but when It is operating normal without SSD issue ( boot issue / question mark ), diagnostic check doesn't show and issue at all.



What I tried so far:

1. Reset NVRSM etc didn't resolve the issue.
2. Erased and reformatted the disk when it was working, and reinstalled fresh firmware, no solution
3. Opened the laptop and cleaned SSD socket and checked the connections, looks all good.

Next :

Considering to replace the SSD, but not sure if it resolves the problem.



Please recommend if you all know any solution for this issue.

Hi there!
There’s a know issue with the disk on your Mac.
Check if you are eligible for a free replacement: https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-solid-state-drive-service

Otherwise you need a new disk. You can use the opportunity and replace it with a larger one.
