[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1821383, member: 56379"] It wasn't mentioned (but just to be sure)...was the original logic board in your the 2010 MacBook Air the 1.86Ghz version? The term "hard drive" was mentioned...so we should be perfectly clear on this. Starting with the 2010 MacBook Air's (this model)...the ONLY internal storage option was flash/SSD storage (no hard drives). If this computer originally had a hard drive...then it's not a 2010 model (or newer). 2006, 2008, and 2009 MacBook Air's did have the option of a "spinner HD" for internal storage. Assuming this is a 2010 MacBook Air...the old logic board would have have a removable flash-memory board...and for the new logic board to have any onboard storage...this flash-memory board would have had to been swapped from the old logic board to the new logic board. If the new logic board just so happened to have included onboard storage already installed...then the flashing question mark is due to no bootable OS installed. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
