Hello everyone,
After trying to fix the MacBook (A1708 EMC 2978) of my Aunt (which had water damage) I declared it to an total loss for now so I bought an replacement LogicBoard (which works fine) and a replacement SSD of Ebay because I bought the remaining MacBook bits off of her so I can thinker with them :-).
But here comes the Problem, the used SSD is not recognized! :-( Here's an copy and paste of an comment I wrote to someone on this forum (laziness strikes again):
"I have an EMC 2978 MacBook with an 820-00875-01 LogicBoard. I tried to use an used SSD of the Internet for this model and it doesn't work. The SSD Model is: 656-0044A. I am currently typing on this MacBook by Booting and using it over an External Drive I had laying around."
The drive get's also warm. Terminal says "No CoreStorage logical volume groups found" after writing diskutil cs list or it doesn't find any drives when I just type diskutil list. Also Disk Utility doesn't recognize any drive (other then my external one).
Anyone know what might be the problem here?
