[SOLVED]Core i5 13" Mid-2012 - Model A1278 (EMC 2554*) Won't recognize known good HDD
[SOLVED]
Got a MBP in for repair, it's the Core i5 13" Mid-2012 - Model A1278 (EMC 2554*) Issue is that it won't recognize known good HDDs. I have tried 2 different SATA flex cables. The drive seems to get power, I can feel it spinning but it does not populate in Disk Utility and will not boot. As suggested in a previous thread, I have reset the SMC but this has not corrected the issue. There are not signs of liquid exposure, and the connector looks to be okay. I guess I could have 2 bad flex cables, but not sure how likely that is. Any insight is appreciated.
