Hi everyone! I have this A1708 for a long time. I’ve had to replace the batteries because they was inflated! Aside from this, I have another problem: for me to be able to boot from internal drive I must try 20 or 30 times to be able to recognize the drive! I’ve managed to format an external disk, installed Monterey and it boots all the time without problems, so, I think that the logic board is ok. Can someone experienced this behavior? Is it the SSD damaged or is the boot partition scrambled? After boot, it works ok and if I do several restarts it boots ok then. Thank you for your help! Regards, Jorge
Well thats not good! You’ll need to create a new primary partition using Disk Utility with the unused space it should be about the difference of the recovery partition and the total space of the drive as an example a 1 TB system should have about 850 GB if not then the drive is toast! Who’s drive are you using the original or did you upgrade it? If you did who’s and how.
