![]() I booted it up again and it worked fine, I backed up all my files just to be on the safe side, and sure enough after a little while it froze again.Īfter that I was in recovery mode several times, struggling with a lot of different issues, attempting all sorts of fixes that I found on various forums and support sites. The first time I tried I got a message that said first aid was unsuccessful and could not repair the volume, but when I tried again it seemingly managed to do it anyway and I got a green ding. And then again, but this time I got a flashing question mark folder on boot, so I booted in recovery mode and hit First Aid. Then a few hours later it happened again. I rebooted it using the power button, and it worked fine so I thought nothing of it. I'd say it took about a minute from it slowed down until it froze completely. It started with one app not responding (Firefox iirc), then the spinning wheel of doom, then I couldn't change apps at all and finally it froze becoming entirely unresponsive. And apologies for the wall of text.Ī few weeks ago my Mac froze for the first time. But I'm not sending this old piece of scrap to be fixed by Apple for a month's worth of rent. If I have to buy a new SSD I can live with that, I might even attempt to swith out the logic board. My Mac is broken, there were a lot of things that lead up to its current state, so I'll lay it out to the best of my memory in the hopes that it will help pinpoint the issue.
