M.2 install issue for a house envy n7-109dx

[chaosbringer18]

I am trying to install a m.2 chip and for some reason it is keeping my lap top from powering up. I don't see anything other than the slot I put it in and it fit just fine. Did I miss something.

It may be the wrong type of M.2 SSD for that laptop model.

I understand the M.2 slot on selected HP Envy models requires SATA-based M.2 SSD.
The one you're trying to use might be a M.2 PCIe SSD.


Note: I've moved this this thread to the "Storage" forum since an SSD is a storage device, not "memory".
