2 SSD failed twice, possible power adapter issue?
Hi!
I bought a second-hand Macbook Pro for my partner a number of years ago. It's a 13" A1708 without a touchbar (I believe it's this model: https://support.apple.com/en-us/111951).
A few years ago my partner was using the computer when it suddenly crashed and shut down. When she tried to turn it on again it showed a flashing folder with a question mark on it, indicating that the startup disk couldn't be found (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102601). Starting with recovery showed that the disk couldn't be found, so I figured the disk must have been damaged somehow (see image).
I bought a new 256GB SSD for it and replaced it myself, installing macOS on it. It worked, but then a few months later the exact same thing happened again.
I can obviously replace the SSD again, but it seems like there's something causing the SSD to get destroyed. I'm not an expert in these sorts of things but is it possible for the shielding for the power supply to be damaged, causing EM interference to damage the SSD, or something like that? Does anyone know how I can diagnose what's causing this? Or is it more likely that I bought a dodgy SSD and it happened to have the same issue at the SSD that it originally came with?
This may or may not be unrelated - after using the laptop for a decent amount of time (30-60 minutes) the screen starts to glitch. It's hard to describe but it's almost like the image doubles, to the point where reading text becomes difficult. I think it might be related to the heat of the laptop itself but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE 6/8/24: Here's a picture of the insides. You can see the SSD is seated directly on the motherboard (i.e. no flex cable). I can't see any damage anywhere else but I'm not sure if there's anywhere specifically I should look:
