    Macbook SSD woes FIXED

    Thought I would throw this out there incase others had the same issue, I have a mid 2012 MacBook pro with a intel 530 ssd, boot times were quick but after updating the OS to high sierra and beyond the boot time was rediculous were talking like around 2 minutes with a SSD. come to find out if you enable trim on 3rd party ssds apple sees fit to slow them down greatly, if you turn off trim then the boot time is fast again.

    I went looking on ebay and found a OEM apple/samsung 256gb probably a rebadged 830 or 840 ssd and stuck it in, magically boot time with catalina is only 12-15 seconds, so I guess the moral of the story is be wary of non-apple ssds unless you want super slow boot time.

          Oopps, I need to work on that. Another interesting thing about this drive is its a 9.5mm height drive. It also has the famous pentalobe screws holding holding the ssd case halves together.

              [Macbook pro A1708] [Boot loop] [Trackpad ?]
              by No Lan
              Hey everyone,

              Usually, I'm not the type to ask for help, but this time, I'm calling on your wisdom and expertise I've seen what this community can do, so I'm pretty sure you guys can help me out.

              Here's the deal: I noticed my MacBook got stuck in a boot loop. After opening it up and doing some initial troubleshooting, I found that the boot loop stops only when the trackpad is unplugged.

              Now, just so you know, the trackpad actually works — I tested it with another motherboard and it's all good. Same for the cable, no issues there. The problem is only...

              Macbook Pro mid 2015 battery required to boot?
              by twonk9098
              I have read many forums that state the Macbook Pro 2015 needs / does not need a battery to boot. I'm not convinced as yet which is correct.
              The Macbook Pro mid 2015 I have has no battery and do not really want to buy one just to test.
              This model has the newer trackpad which is not clickable when turned off.
              At the moment, without battery it does turn on with no display (with backlight), no chime and then turns off after 13 seconds. I see this from the power draw on my DTPS.
              If I hold the power button whilst connecting the magsafe 2 charger it turns on, again no image but...

              Macbook A2442 820-02098 boot and display issue
              by veedo
              Hi All
              I have MacBook A2442 which had keyboard replaced and now it doesn't turn on correctly, it have sound chime from time to time and Apple logo shows on the display and there is no backlight on, apple logo appear and stuck on kind of boot loop. But if one of the display flexes is disconnected from the motherboard then MacBook turns of fine with the external monitor and it keeps working fine.

              Macbook A2251 no boot
              by PITERPENY
              The MacBook does not boot. It is restored via DFU without errors. The MacBook charges and consumes 20V/2A. There is no sound when connecting the charger. The caps lock does not light up, but the touchpad clicks. The fans do not rotate. No signs of life. Please advise.

              MacBook Pro A2289 (820-01987-A) No boot/image, but boots to DFU
              by baglaivlad
              Hi everyone. Just a reminder I am not a professional repair technician, fixing Apple electronics is my hobby.

              Recently got my hands on MacBook Pro A2289 with interesting behavior. Pristine condition, no water damage, no visual issues whatsoever. It has no image, no CapsLock, no life except the fan is spinning. But it is able to boot into DFU and recognized by another MacBook. I tried to revive and restore the laptop, but the process ends when the MacBook usually should show an Apple logo with a progress bar. I assume the main power lines and T2 are working. It seems like the Intel...
