The other day, my MacBook Pro decided to stop reading it’s hard drive. I took it to the Genius Bar today and here’s the diagnosis.

Apparently the Hard Drive cable burnt out (a problem mentioned by a fellow Opponaut last night), and they’ll be repairing it. So I should be getting it back on Monday.

Stay tuned...

Better than a hard drive being burnt out.

Have a nice 2011 Ranger to help you feel better.

There are two kinds of computer users: those who HAVE lost data, and those who WILL lose data.

Same thing just happened to my wife’s old Macbook. I replaced it and also installed a SSD. Took about five minutes and the cable was $17 on Amazon.
