The only difference is that when I boot in verbose mode, it gets past the root device and as soon as it initializes the Airport (which succeeds, but I haven't read the whole message), then it shuts off.ĭoes this ring any bells? Is there anything I've overlooked? Does this sound like any particular problem I could have diagnosed? Obviously the computer is not under warranty, and it's a four hour drive to the nearest Apple store, so I'm looking for something I can check myself. And this doesn't seem like an OS version issue, because that drive has a much older version of Yosemite (from last year, 10.9.2, I think). So I took the SSD out entirely and put the Apple drive back in place. It found only two errors, and fixed them, but putting it back didn't change the boot behavior on the macbook.

I also tried taking the SSD out and connecting it to my Mac Pro desktop, and running Disk Warrior on it there. 661-4959 Apple Logic Board 2.6GHz for MacBook Pro 17' Mid-Late 2007 2.6Ghz 820-2262-A A1229 Special Price 358.00 Regular Price 499. I tried booting from a Disk Warrior USB recovery stick, but that doesn't finish booting either. The only exception is that instead of a circle-slash, I just get the spinning gear thing, but it freezes and doesn't move.īooting in verbose mode with the SSD in place stops at "still waiting for root device". Apple These schematic diagrams cover the following models Apple Laptop Logic Board Schematic diagram call. I can hold ALT and select it to boot from it, but it behaves just like the internal drive. So, thinking perhaps the issue is the drive (it's an SSD drive, which has been in place and working fine for a year or so), I hooked up the original Apple drive in an external USB controller. But considering it was just booting from it a second ago, I'm not sure what to make of that. (I've done both of those many times, every time I change anything else, I do that.)ĬMD-R to get recovery mode does not work, it just shuts off.Ī normal boot shows the progress bar until about half way, then it goes away and shows a circle-slash, meaning there is no boot drive. After waiting a long time (like, an hour), I shut it down forcibly.

It was working fine until the other day when I let it install a few accumulated updates and rebooted. I already verified that both fans are spinning, and like I said, it was working fine until I updated.I have a Macbook Pro 17".
