Hi,
I'm new to the forum so hope I'm posting in the right place!
My macbook (late 2011 MBP 15" with SSD) developed an issue recently where on startup it would freeze, at the point of entering my iCloud password but before entering my actual computer user password. On the white screen with the loading bar (bar not swirly thing) it would hang before completing loading.
Restarting would sometimes fix this, but after a week or so this no longer works, so now I can't turn my computer on. I've tried starting in safe mode/recovery mode/repairing my disk/general suggestions from various forums but not of that works.
I have a recent backup of my data so that isn't an issue, I was just wondering if this sounds like it could be an SSD failure? I'm happy to buy another, just wanted to check with you guys whether that might actually solve the problem before spending the cash!
Thanks in advance
Craig
