[SOLVED] M.2 not recognized after firmware update

[marwinewert]

So my system was running fine for a year+ , but my ADATA Spectrix S40G always had performance issues if any lighting software was controlling it. They made a new firmware that corrected it, I updated it today. When the system restarted, it went to BIOS because no bootable device were found.
Anyone had this happened before ? What can I do so I don't lose all my data?

EDIT 1: I'm resetting the BIOS and changing to another M.2 slot to see if it changes anything

does reset the bios fix your issue?
have $ for data recovery service?

No , changing slots and resetting the BIOS didn't work. I'll try to see if other PC can recognize the drive, or maybe try and update the firmware again on someone else's system if it's possible.
I could just format the drive if windows installation allow it, but I would probably lose all data, right?

anything you do to it will lower the chance of data recovery

 

[marwinewert]

But is there a way to recover the data? the BIOS won't even recognize the drive

possible, buy the exact ADATA Spectrix S40G model before the firmware update. put the storage chip to the good m.2
