Question SSD died on laptop ?

[slippyjim]

Hi,

I have an Acer Swift SF515-51T-57PL Laptop that has an SSD soldered to the motherboard, this SSD is no longer recognised by BIOS. I believe it is either 256GB or 512GB.
In BIOS I have disabled the dead SSD (Labelled as Hard disk 0 in the BIOS)

The laptop also has a separate NVMe socket but it only seems to work with certain SSD's, I have tried the following ones:

• Sandisk 128GB SATA M.2 - BIOS detects and can install Windows
• Toshiba 256GB SATA M.2 - BIOS doesnt detect it
• WD SN530 256GB NVMe - BIOS doesnt detect it
• Kingston 512GB NVMe - BIOS doesnt detect it

I have never come across such a picky M.2 slot before, has anyone else seen this before?
Any ideas on what SSD's might be compatible?

Thanks

update the BIOS of the laptop

I forgot to say I have updated it to the latest version - v1.04

It was on v1.02 but after updating to v1.04 there is no difference at all
