[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1531014, member: 8287"] If it was a Macbook I would not think it's a cable issue as the drive plugs into a bay, but on the MBP's that Flex Cable has been proven to over time mess up and flexing it installing a new drive will just make it worse. I think it's worth a shot. Do you have an external 2.5" USB hard drive case? That would for sure prove what is the issue. Put in both the new and the old hard drive and test them, one at a time of course! [/QUOTE]
