[QUOTE="silverdagger, post: 1842747, member: 403926"] Ok, so this is a nightmare! The iFixit link is one I found too. Basically, I need to either install diagnostics back on my HDD... or make a USB drive diagnostics. I ended up following this [URL="https://boards.rossmanngroup.com/forum/tools/2150-asd-apple-system-diagnostics"]link[/URL] to download the diagnostics .dmg files from a torrent file... which I did. So after formatting the USB drive as instructed, but when I come to restore the dmg OS to the partition on the USB drive it fails saying I need to diskscan the image file first. When I try that, it doesn't work. So I try something different: I attempt to copy the .diagnostics file into /System/Library/CoreServices, but I'm met with permissions issues, so I learn that I need to disable SIP... so I need to restart in recovery mode, use terminal : 'sudo csrutil disable', back into the OS, attempt to copy the files across again... If I drag and drop it doesn't work and just shows the no entry sign. So I get info and change all permissions to R&W, try again... no good. I tried sudo cp -R too. Still no good. Aaarrrgh! [/QUOTE]
