Macbook Pro HDD

[tashanna]

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro (purchased in July 2013). It will not usually read the hard drive. Two months ago it stopped reading the hard drive and I installed a new HDD Cable which fixed the problem. Now it will not read the hard drive again but is responding differently. If I open in fsck I can get the computer to start up but it will crash soon afterwards. Now I cannot even get it to open fsck. If I open recovery mode it shows no hard drive. So I purchased a new hard drive, installed it and still nothing. I installed the hard drive on a different computer and it worked fine. So it is not the hard drive. However today it recognized the hard drive once and booted up normally.

Is there anyone who knows what is going on?

Sounds to me like it could be an issue with the SATA controller or perhaps the motherboard on your Mac if you've replaced the drive and tried it in another machine and it's fine. It's definitely a fault with the Mac itself. I'm not sure how repairable MacBooks are, my understanding is that they're fairly limited in that respect, so my advice would be to take it to an Apple Store and get somebody there to look at it.
