Weirdest stuck MBP - I'm all out of options!


hi guys,

first of take time , try on one. i'm quite tech savvy stuck on one.

let me give background info...

- june 2012 mbp
- hdd swapped ssd (put hdd in optical bay storage drive , got rid of optical drive)
- when hdd swapped ssd, used superduper! clone drives, this fries recovery partition - i.e. doesn't copy onto new drive
- recently, upgraded latest osx version (el capitan) , working fine quite long time (weeks)
- yesterday, mbp no longer wanted boot up, turns on, doesn't go past initial progress bar (with apple logo)

things tried...

- recovery mode (partition no longer exists on mbp no luck)
- safe boot (no luck, gets stuck on progress bar)
- single user mode (checks return ok results, after reboots still gets stuck)
- reset nvram (no luck)
- reset smc (no luck)
- internet recovery partition (this closest got getting work again, goes far wifi selection, logs network, downloads something, gets stuck...)

don't have mac, can't attempt target disk mode, hoping guys suggest else me do. things such ...

- usb recovery?
- taking ssd out of mac , installing osx extended pc?
- else?

advice highly appreciated, stuck :(
 

sounds ssd has died happens occasionally.
