Got this in working (running high sierra) just for a ram and SSD upgrade,
Doddle of a job right!.
Wrong!
Long story short with the new SSD or putting back the old one it starts loading and gets the apple logo and progress bar and just hangs at the half way point and then reboots it does the same thing when trying
Internet recovery
Boot from external drive with os on
1 of any of the 5 known good working hard drives,
Original ram back in,
Original hdd back in,
Webcam unplugged
Touch pad unplugged
Smc bypass
Reset p ram like 10 times,
I went to try a clean ME using the medusa but I can't get the medusa to see the efi chip, (is the medusa not compatible with this model of macbook, I don't see it on the supported devices list ?? l)
This must be something daft the machine was working fine this morning and all I've done is attempt to replace ram and hdd?
