Dead, not starting up anymore
I bought a refurbished MacBook Air as my old pro was shocked by bad electrical outlet. It worked fine for a week or so, but then started freezing. People I bought it from suggested it was a battery problem and I had that replaced. It did not work, I have rebooted endless times, reset the battery and nvram and now it doesn’t even want to start in recovery mode. Should I get a new motherboard or a new ssd?

I tried the internet recovery and there is nothing from apple to fix the issue. I tried disk utility, but the hard drive does not show. I tried to reinstall mountain lion, but hard drive does not show up for installation. I have now booted it up with my hard rive from my macbook pro and that works fine, which means to me it´s not the logic board I think.

I booted the HDD from my Macbook Pro and works like a charm until I can get a new SSD for the air
Is dit een goede vraag?
@nafanua - If you still have a warranty on your system from Apple I would use it. Otherwise checkout OWC & Transcend for a replacement SSD, both offer a good product at a cheaper price than getting a used Apple SSD of the same size.
As you had power issues before you might want to look at getting a good surge suppressor or better yet a good fill-in UPS so both the surges and drop-outs get covered.
