[QUOTE="kahlil88, post: 1509801, member: 47208"] Still had problems after applying new thermal compound and eventually gave up...but it dawned on me that it might be the hard drive cable. I've seen them go bad in iBooks and stumbled across a thread on this forum where someone had suggested replacing the cable any time the drive is replaced. Didn't take it very seriously until just yesterday when I was upgrading a friend's hard drive who has a MacBook, and noticed how strong the glue is that holds it to the drive! Easy to damage if you're not careful... [/QUOTE]
