Hi

i have a MacBook Air 2014 13inch bought it used from someone.
he said the SSD was bad and should be replaced, once i received it i had a known good SSD and put it in with succes, installed Big Sur and it worked great.

i wanted to install 11.6 update but it never had any succes in updating. after a couple of tries it showed the black screen with the map and question mark in it. So it didnt see the SSD anymore, i went into recovery mode and looked at the SSD and saw that it only had 1.79gb of storage in total. i put the "broken" ssd in it and showed the same capacity

i cant seem to restore it to full capacity.
i have 3 more ssd that are known good ones but im afraid that its a logic board issue that corrupts the SSD.

does anyone have any tips?
