Hello,
After installing the SSD harddisk from another Macbook Air (both are from 2017, running Catalina, bought same day),
I encounter two strange problems:
* after some inactivity, the cursor changes from a filled box to an open box and keystrokes are no longer taken (but mouse navigation still works); after closing the lid, opening it and entering the password given the screenlock, the cursor is a filled box and keystrokes work again;
* sometimes, the screen suddenly locks, although the current settings are that it should lock no earlier than after 4h.
Can anyone help? What's going on??? (I restarted a few times, no change).
Thanks a lot!
George
P.S. I went to an independent shop for switching the SSD, following the kind advice at

can one macbook air be assembled from two broken ones (battery vs display)?
Switching battery is easy, as long as you have a fitting screwdriver for the bottom plate. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Air+13-Inch+Early+2017+Battery+Replacement/135927
