so, I have a MacBook Air 13" late 2010 model with a logic board supporting 2GB of RAM. A few weeks ago 1GB of RAM crapped out on me. Needless to say the performance of the computer dropped to just about nothing, it would boot and load and that was about it. Internet usage was almost impossible, every now and then a full page would load. So I decided to spend the money to replace the Logic Board with an upgraded version. 2.13 Ghz and 4GB of RAM. Got the Logic board and installed it everything went smooth. THEN....
I turned on my computer to find a folder flashing with a question mark. Tried to do boot recovery and the whole shebang, nothing worked there is no hard drive being detected and nothing to boot from. I was able to hold down the option/alt key during start up to get the the WIFI bar but nothing above it. It would just hook up to WIFI. I remembered that I had a hard copy of snow leopard laying around somewhere. I grabbed that to install it and boom, the disk shows up along with the WIFI bar again, so I click it and try to install, about 2 minuted in a circle with a slash shows up.
I have no idea what to do from this point? I can't even hold down d to check diagnostics to see if anything is damaged on the board or the hard drive. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN!!! to be honest im just more frustrated than anything, I need any advice on what to do and or how to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
