The HDD on these models is soldered to the board so I cannot remove it for further testing.ĭoes this mean that my SSD is totally done for? Are there any other ways I can access it and test it?īelow is my output from diskutil and some screen shots from Recovery ModeĮDIT: The 319GB Drive is my external WD Hard Drive I am booted from, the CD sized drive is one of those built in partition on an external drive where the recovery software they bundle is stored. The internal hard drive does now show up in anything: Disk Utility, diskutil list, System Information App > Storage, Recovery Mode / Only Recovery Mode etc.

I was eventually able to get it running by installing macOS Mojave to an external drive however.

I tried it number of times, making sure I was not doing caps lock or anything of that nature. A couple days ago my MacBook, an early 2016, 12-inch, Retina model had a hard freeze, rainbow wheel and screen frozen.Īfter a forced restart holding down the power button I was able to get to the login screen but my password would not work.Īfter additional restarts I was greeted with the Flashing ? Folder icon for no startup disk.
