2010 macbook pro hard drive crashed no backup. Installing Samsung 850ssd. what are the detailed steps to bring it back to life. Im not a whiz at computers. Thanks.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), Not positive about operating system
Sometimes a replacement hard drive or SSD works best if installed to an external enclosure
and then when the planets are aligned just right, transplanted with a dash of hi tech fertilizer.
You may need to dissect the device and replace cables, such as data or power; these can be
damaged in process of initial take-apart to repair. Or be worn weak or disabled due to illness.
The owc esales site has free video for replacement of SSDs, and advice in their blogs.
Probably somewhat like iFixit, but with video and audio to help tell what we're looking at.
In any event...
Good luck & happy trails! 🙂
