I have a MacBook Pro (A1286). I replaced the defect SSD with a new one, and would like to boot from a prepared USB Stick with 10.11 El Capitan. However the stick starts to run, then the screen turns black and back grey again, and that was it.
Any hints, why the start process does not finish?

Hey Bernhard,
reboot from the USB stick until
but before start installing open "Terminal" (its in the main menu on top)
enter "date 071015002016" which will reset the current date to "October 7th, 2016" confirm with enter key.
Having done so open disk utility, delete your new SSD MacOs extended journaled and start installation.
I bet it'll work 🙂
Have fun and best regards

Der USB-Stick erscheint also nicht auf dem boot screen bzw. du kommst gar nicht bis zum boot screen?
Leider komme ich gar nicht so weit, ich habe nichts als einen grauen Bildschirm...
Wir haben es aufgegeben, offenbar ist das MacBook definitiv defekt. Danke für die Tipps.
immer gern 🙂
schade um das schöne MacBook Pro, aber nach 12/13 Jahren Betriebszeit hats sein Soll erfüllt.
