- Macbook Pro 14" M1 Pro, 16GB, 1TB, OS 12.6.9
I have a MBP Mid 2012, 2.9GHz i7
Seirra 10.12.6
Upgraded Crucial 750GB SSD
Upgraded Crucial RAM 8GB
1) Today I booted it up and got the circle with a line through it on the screen. Resetting PRAM did not help. It will not boot in single user mode or safe mode.
2) When booting from an external boot disk, the drive/volume does not appear anywhere but in disk utility. The drive is visible, but the "Macbook Pro" volume is grayed out. Disk utility says it has an error and can not be repaired.
3) I pulled the Crucial SSD out and installed the original HDD. With that drive in the computer it shows a folder with a question mark on it when trying to boot. Will not boot in safe mode or single user mode. This drive worked fine up until the day I pulled it out a few years ago, I haven't touched it since.
4) I put the Crucial SSD in an enclosure and plugged it into another MB I have...same thing, it only shows in disk utility. Error...can not be repaired.
Can anyone provide insight on this? Do I suddenly have an issue with BOTH the drive and the computer?
