[QUOTE="teamwrk, post: 1407503, member: 253728"] Correct, this is the point I was making-- if the previous owned had it booting from external HDD via USB, but it won't boot from SATA connection, then it seems the SATA flex cable is bad. I have no desire to run it from an external drive, that was just information I had considered during the troubleshooting process. Yeah, I've priced them out. Apple part # 922-9062. Usually $40+. 1) How would I check the SATA controller? 2) How can I ensure the drive is getting power? Isn't that part of the flex cable? Thank you for replying!! [/QUOTE]
