Question HP 280 G2 MT NOT RECOGNIZING SSD

[babi1987]

Hi
My HP 280 G2 MT does not recognise my SSD since a BIOS update a year ago. The BIOS version was A O.27. It won't even boot with the SSD attached. Now even with the latest A 0.48 BIOS things are same. The OS is in the HDD now . The SSD is a Samsung evo 850. The SSD works fine in another Dell machine. What can I do to get the SSD back and running again? Can I try a HP SSD?

You can try and remove CMOS battery and see if replacing it brings the SSD up in BIOS. You might also want to try a different SATA port, different SATA cable and a different SATA power connector to rule out faults along the way.

Thanks for your input. I have tried removing and replacing the CMOS battery, using different sata cable and connectors but it did not help.
