A few days ago my MP went into that boot loop (black screen white logo).
Tried everything Googled offered.
I managed to back it up using Target Mode to an older MBP.
I removed the drive and put it in the exact model/config and It boots up fine.
I took that systems drive and used it on the suspect tube and that was fine.
I got an EFI CHECK warning but didn't dig into it.
Anyone experience this?
I can just leave it as is but don't really want to chance using a system or hard drive that's unsafe to use.

Thoughts appreciated.
 
After a few days with the switcheroo, things seem fine.

Odd experience but it works.
