Hello,
I recently purchased a second hand late-2013 MacBook Pro. Everything was working great until the last couple days I noticed some issues. First, I was experiencing whole system freezes, where the color wheel would spin and I was able to move the cursor around but everything was unresponsive. Then, I had a new larger issue crop up today where when I went to use the machine, it was giving me the flashing file folder error.
I booted into recovery and this is all I can see:
dang - Album on Imgur
weirdly enough, after receiving the file folder error earlier today I entered recovery (and didn’t see my 128gb HDD) but was still able to boot back up after shutting it down and turning it back on again. This only worked for a little while until it gave me a system freeze and booted into the flashing file.
Is my SSD failing? Or what is going on? Any help would be much appreciated.
