    did the new drive have any smart errors?

    SMART is never really too dependable. Sometimes drives will die without it even giving you an alarm. Sometimes it will alarm when nothing is wrong

      if you are able to do a factory reset, or at least start it with the recovery button. Do these steps:

      Note: Please back up all your data as running this reset will delete any data on your machine

      1. Turn the machine off and press the recovery button which is located usually next to the power button. If you have a desktop machine you will need to power the machine back on and keep tapping the F2 key.
      2. Use the arrow keys and press enter on system recovery. ( Desktop users can skip this)
      3. Select “restore from the initial backup” and then “Next”.
      4. Click “start” and accept the warning messages.

      Length of time can vary depending on the speed of the machine.

      Hope this will help you out.

        Didn't test it for errors as it came right out of the packaging

        Hmm. Are you saying there may be something wrong with the sata port ? Would that prevent the machine from booting ?
