"after reapply the thermal paste':

What was the issue that made you do that?

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know know more information about your computer; size, exact year built, RAM installed and OS you're running. Any history prior to your incident would also be helpful.

There's also this:

Did you try booting and holding down the "option" key?

It will show you if the system sees your hard drive.

Yes I do holding on the option key that's what it shows me after holding the option key.


the reason I did the thermal past is because my MacBook is running crazy hot The only solution I found is to reapply the thermal past.

Your MBP is not seeing the internal SSD. It is faulty or the SATA cable is faulty.


Do you still have the 750 GB HDD with the OSX installed? You can connect it to your MBP via USB and see if it will boot the MBP using startup manager:

If it will, then the SATA cable should be replaced.


Or you can swap it in place of the SSD and see if it will boot the MBP. If it does, then the SSD is faulty. If it does not, then the SATA cable is faulty.


Ciao.
