Hi,
I replaced the original drive of a Mac Pro Late 2013 - A1481 (https://support.apple.com/en-us/112025) with a Crucial P3 (https://www.amazon.it/Crucial-Plus-500GB-5000MB-CT500P3PSSD8/dp/B0B25NTRGD) and a compatible adapter (https://www.amazon.it/OLVINS-Adattatore-conversione-MacBook-aggiornato/dp/B08ZS9ZP4F).
Unfortunately, with the new drive, the computer turns on with the fan at maximum speed and doesn't send any signal to the monitor. If I remove the drive, the boot proceeds normally (Apple logo + missing OS image).
When I try to use a bootable USB with Big Sur, the USB seems to be read, but the monitor still shows no signal.
I’m not sure if this is an issue with the compatibility of the new components (both are supposed to be compatible) or related to the Mac's firmware. I read that the Mac firmware needs to be updated first. I know Big Sur was installed on this Mac before, but then it was reformatted and Linux was installed, after which the original drive failed.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot further or should I just give up considering that I no longer have the original SSD working ?
