![]() I’ve reinstalled the old battery for this new attempt just in case though. I’ve also had problems ever since I installed a new battery from iFixit a couple weeks ago where if I leave the MBP alone for too long it shuts itself off, but that seems to be limited to when I’m not plugged into the charger, so it shouldn’t have happened during my install attempts. Is there something I’m missing or forgot to do? I’ve read mid 2012 MBPs have fragile hard drive cables, so could this be a sign that mine is faulty? The laptop definitely recognizes my new SSD and I was able to erase/partition/select it for the install but I guess it could still be bad. ![]() I’m currently on my third try, with 20 hours left on the estimated time (it was 14 last night when I went to bed, not sure why it’s so much longer now). ![]() I figured something had gone wrong during the install, it happens, so I erased the drive and started over.

Well, I bought a Samsung 860 EVO, installed it, erased and reformatted it to Mac OS (Extended), and then started the OS X install process, which is where everything fell apart. I figured it was time for an upgrade and saw that just about everyone recommends SSDs and figured it couldn’t be too hard to replace. ![]()
