Hi everyone!
I've run into a bizarre issue with my 13" cMBP.
From one day to the next, it stopped booting up and will only show a folder with a question mark.
My first thought was that my (aftermarket) SSD had failed, so I swapped it out for an old HDD. However, after trying to boot with this disc installed it showed the same behavior. I then plugged in the SSD via a SATA to USB cable but the disc wouldn't show up in either the boot menu or disk utility when using internet recovery.
I've tried connecting the SSD to an old Laptop running Lubuntu but it won't mount there either.
I haven't tried hooking up the HDD that's currently inside my MBP to the external SATA/USB cable yet, but will when I get the time.
However, what are the chances of the SSD and internal SATA cable failing at the same time? I've reset the PRAM, but that did not change anything.
Sorry for the slightly convoluted tale, would be glad for any suggestions or ideas, as being without my laptop and data is really less than ideal.
Thanks !
