Loose SSD. Screw socket broken.

Hello,

So about 6 months ago I upgraded my SSD drive in my Macbook Air to a M2 SSD with adapter card, which has worked brilliantly!

However, this week I noticed my Macbook just randomly shut down and would restart with the folder/question mark symbol. So I took the back off to investigate and straight away the socket the screw for the SSD goes into has come away from the logic board.

I super glued it back in place and attempted to screw the SSD back in, but straight away the socket came away, which was surprising as the glue held it in nicely. It looks as if something is in the hole beneath the screw socket, preventing the screw going down and holding the SSD in place.

So… what do I do? Is the fixable? It is 5 years old and has a few defects now but was hoping it would last a few more years before buying a new one, but at the same time, if it’s going to cost a lot of money to repair the socket on the logic board, then is there any point?

Any advice is really appreciated!! Desperate to get it working again.

James :)

Sounds like you used too long a screw so the screw bottomed out pressing against the logic board pushing the bushing up snapping it off again.

Carefully clean off the glue off the logic board and the bushing stud. You’ll need to find a shorter screw mount the stud back onto the SSD where it needs to be to held the SSD (making sure the screw is not popping out from the bottom).

Then using a small amount of Loctite Multi Purpose Repair Putty coat the stud about half way up and the bottom, take some to coat the area on the logic board were the stud was mounted for about two times the diameter of the bushing. You’ll want a narrow tool to shape the putty so when you press the stud down flaring out the putty so it offers a good mechanical mating of the stud to the logic board. place a weight onto the SSD so its pressing down let it be for the night.

Hopefully you can save your logic board.

Thank you ever so much for your detailed response!

Before I try and order the Loctite (if we have it in the UK), I've temporarily managed to hold it into place, but my Macbook even on a flat surface won't boot up on stay on for long without saying 'Your Computer Restarted because of a problem'. At first I thought it was related but I'm not sure that it is or too sure on how I can fix it :(

There is a bit of tension required to hold the SSD so thats why you need to secure the SSD.

I personally don't like using M.2 SSD's in Mac's as you introduce a second interface and sadly Apple has some stuff the M.2 SSD's don't offer. Don't get me wrong! I love M.2 SSD's just not inside Mac's as they where not designed to be supported.

So its possible your SSD is failing you.
