My MacBook Pro broke overnight and I'm trying to transfer all my files
My logic board broke on my MacBook Pro. I really need all the data and files from the Hard drive, which is A Samsung Solid State Drive as this was replaced a year ago.
When plugging the SSD drive into my new MacBook Air 11”, it does not detect the hard drive at all.
If anyone has any solution I would be hugely appreciative.
Thank you
Henry

Thanks for all the input guys.
No I definitely don’t want to trash my beautiful 17” Mac, not at all. The logic board is the problem! Doing some research on costs and it’s looking like replacing the board is around $600 bucks plus labour, maybe more.
I am a DJ and needed to get my music files from my old Mac (that i have not given up on yet) onto my new one.
Once I can afford a new logic board i will then get it serviced and back up and running. Until then I need a speedy plan to be able to play all my music on this Air.
Any suggestions!?

@geniusjames Hold on! Do you really want to trash this beautiful machine?! Do you want to at least try and get the old one up and running?
Also, if you are getting the flashing folder icon when you start up your old Mac the SSD is surely to blame.

I share @ajcooke01 view, it's still a great machine and if the Ssd doesn't show up on another Mac as external drive that might be the very source of your issue on the 17" Pro.

@arbaman It breaks my heart when I see someone trash their “not working” MacBook Pro and buy a new one from Tim Crook instead. I collect older Macs that people give up on and I put new life inside them, partly why I joined iFixit. I’d much rather bust my rear trying to help someone with their old Mac then just send them off to get a new MacBook Pro that’s expensive and improperly designed.

@ajcooke01 I agree 100%, for what I've seen so far Macbooks of 2009/2012 years can be rightfully regarded as the Apple golden age of laptops as far as reliability, repairability and ease of upgrading., besides the most unfortunate graphic chips issue on some models.

@arbaman Interesting, I am going to be receiving a 2011 MBA that is supposedly “not powering up” and I am suspecting that it is a GPU issue. That requires a Logic Board replacement, right?
