Issues with Network, Time Machine and HD after replacing Logic Board
I paid Apple to replace my logic board. I upgraded the HD, but needed access to some of files, so I swapped out the HD with the original HD that came with laptop. I picked up the Macbook Pro, swapped my HD backin and have the following issues.
1. The progress bar appears at every startup. I've read that this is indicative of a HD failure. Is it merely coincidental that the HD is failing along with the list of issues below?
2. Can not connect to wireless network or connect using Ethernet cable.
3. Time Machine will not recognize the computer and required a new back to be created. I could not access my previous backups. A new backup was created, but there was not enough disk space, so it failed. I read that the MAC address was changed resulting from the logic board replacement, so I found this article to update the MAC address of the original Time Machine Backup, so I can access and backup to it. I updated the MAC Address in Time Machine, but I have two Time Machines with the same MAC Address. I can not delete the recent Time Machine.

Also, I can access the wireless network with no problem and bootup without the progress bar with the other HD.
I was planning to back up my data with Time Machine and then reinstall on the drive or buy a new drive if the drive is failing.
Any suggestions? Help
