MacBook Air Disk Utility not recognizing replacement SSD
I have recently received an MBA 13” e2015 with a bad options board and no SSD or HDD. The previous tech could not find the problem with the options board so they removed the original SSD to recover data from it, but never replaced or returned the original drive.
I have purchased an Aura Pro X2 SSD to install but am running into problems.
After installing the SSD in the empty SSD slot and, boot the machine up while holding the options button > online recovery > Disk recovery option > Disk Utility, the disk utility is unable to recognize anything but the 2GB internal memory.
I have already tried unseating and reseating the SSD and making sure it is pushed into the socket firmly, with no change in results.
I have read the might be an OS problem with the machine not previously operating on High Sierra 10.13, but not having the original drive, I’m not aware of what OS was previously running.
At this point, there is a lot I could do to troubleshoot the issue but before going out and buying tools I don’t need I wanted to see if anyone knew of a fix.
Is dit een goede vraag?
