Hi guys,
I'm sure you've heard this issue a few times by now. I'm trying to repair my brother's macbook actually which wasn't loading past the bootscreen and showing an image of a globe.
After some googling, a lot of people mentioned a dead hard drive, so I suspected the same. I replaced the hard drive with a new one, but now all I get is the question mark folder. I can't seem to boot from the CD's either.
Any ideas on further things to try? I've done most of the "hold down a button at boot" things. One thread mentioned an HDD cable (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/316294/), maybe its the logic board?
** PROBLEM SOLVED, SEE BELOW
Thanks
