[QUOTE="Skowey, post: 430857, member: 31308"] Hey everyone, Long story short I opened up my macbook to fix a simple problem, but upon returning it back to its original conidition I found it no longer wanted to boot. :\ I keep getting the dreaded flashing folder question mark combo. I thought maybe it was a RAM problem as I've come accross that before, and made sure it was properly inserted. The hard drive seems to push and all the way and feels solid, I didn't bump or drop anything during my dissection so I have no idea what could have caused this. Is there any way to properly troubleshoot this? I don't really want to open up this thing again as something seems to go wrong everytime I do. I don't have another apple machine to test the hard drive on so I'm hoping there is just some common fix I'm overlooking that you guys could point out. I have a feeling I'll be smacking myself in a head and saying "D'oh" very shortly... Thanks. [/QUOTE]
