Essentially I am now weighing up the cost of replacing the hard drive vs buying a replacement Mac.Īccording to Apple the cost of replacing the HDD (as well as the battery which is also on it's last legs) is about £320, whereas I could probably purchase a similar Macbook for around £900-1000 with a student discount.

It turns out my 500GB HDD drive is dead and needs to be replaced. I've had some problems booting my Macbook Pro recently (it's a 13" Mid-2012) and after many discussions with Apple Support, I backed up all my files to and booted from an external drive, reinstalled OS X and upgraded to Mojave before migrating all my data back over, and still had the problem persist. ![]()
