    Mac SSD is not recognized

    by noahvrdi ·

    My mac os does not boot up after I replaced the thermal paste.
    I have an macbook pro 13″ 2014.
    Is my ssd broken or could something on my logic bord be broken?
    If i install mac os on a external Hard Drive it boots normaly up.
    In the recovery mode the ssd is also not shown up.

      SSD corrupted

      I really think that your SSD has been corrupted. It doesn’t need to have a virus infect it. Even blunt trauma, heat, etc. can damage the component.

        Is it possible that something is damaged on the logic board? Or would than an installation with an external hard drive not possible?

      I’ve recently dealt with a bad SSD

      I’ve recently dealt with a bad SSD and your symptoms are very similar to what I saw. You can’t fix it. If you can slave it to get any data off of it, do that. Otherwise it’s time for a RMA.

      If your external SSD shows up in Disk Utility but not mounted, you can right-click the drive and select Mount menu and then the SSD will show up on Mac. If the Mount button is grayed out or you fail to mount the external SSD, try running First Aid to verify and repair disk errors

        With the external hard drive, the system can be booted with mac os. However, the internal SSD is not recognized by Mac os and the error vdh002 is displayed during system diagnosis

      Usually, you need to buy an additional dock, disk case, or SATA adapter to access an SSD drive. During this process, if the externally connected SSD is not recognized by your Mac, it’s likely that the adapter is not compatible with the disk’s SATA interface, or the dock/drive caddy is faulty.
