[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1849483, member: 46727"] Thanks for providing the additional info. I realize that with this virus keeping us all at home and the Apple Stores closed, it's not as easy to get repairs done. Go ahead and follow the Apple advisor's suggestion, but if that doesn't work, contact them again and ask to have your MBP repaired. I suspect the SSD in your MBP may be failing and since it is non removable, it would require an entire logic board swap out. Apple should be willing to do that work at no cost to you since the problem is at their end not yours. If you have no luck with Apple support or they are unwilling to do the work at no cost to you, you may be able to find a repair service who can replace the SSD for you. Replacing that SSD is not an easy job and requires special soldering tools and skills. However, depending on where you live, there may be a specialized repair shop who can do the work for you at a reasonable cost. [/QUOTE]
