[QUOTE="myrchik, post: 1642106, member: 281052"] Hi guys. I have a problem with my Macbook pro 2013....about a year ago, it started to behave very odd....on boot up, it would show a grey screen and a question mark, or circle with a slash across it, or folder icon in the middle of the screen...than i would have to reboot it a few times with holding up "option" button and choose Macintosh HD drive, to boot it, and luckily it would start working....that continued for a while after what i have gone to local computer repair store since i was out of USA and here in Ukraine there is no official apple service. They changed the HDD to SSD and it worked for a month or so just fine, after wards it started again, and after half a year to boot up the computer became real challenge. And finally when i decided to reinstall OS X and boot it from USB flash drive, it didn't see any SSD....however when i press "option" during start up, i can see Macintosh HD, and am able to choose it and start loading procedure, however screen goes black after about 10% of loading procedure....looks like it just shuts off for some reason.... I thought that it might be the SSD, but is it really possible so that within 1 year 1 HDD and 1 SSD would die????? with normal use of computer, just for internet browsing, and watching movies...etc.... Please help... thank you. [/QUOTE]
