Internal SSD not detected by MBA Mid 2011
I was given an old MacBook Air 2011 to move over files from that MacBook to a newer one. After I completed the process, I decided to update the laptop from Sierra to High Sierra. I let it download the update and I went to fix some stuff, but when I came back the laptop had turned off. I tried booting it and I was hit with a white screen, and a minute later a flashing folder icon was shown. I have tried all of this trying to fix the issue:
Booting into safe mode (DIDN’T WORK)
NVRAM reset (DIDN’T WORK)
SMC reset (DIDN’T WORK)
Apple Hardware Test (NO ERRORS FOUND)
Recovery Mode (Couldn’t use Time Machine or OS reinstall due to the storage device not being recognized, and Disk Utility only shows “disk0” and “Mac OS X Base System”)
I really don’t know what to do at this point, that’s why I am asking here for help. I am a total newbie with Macs and I apologize if my writing is hard to understand, english isn’t my main language.
Any help is appreciated! :)
