[SOLVED] NEED HELP ASAP

[matthewperacio]

So yesterday My pc kinda fell ( hit the wall but didn’t fall on the floor ) and now it isn’t working anymore. It says reboot and select proper boot. I have an 1Tb hdd and a 240gb ssd. I’ve tried everything and I think I’ve discovered that my ssd isn’t working ( it’s not being discovered on the bios ). Now I don’t know wtf to do and I’m panicking because I’m doing my university applications

Checked/swapped cables and connections for SSD ? Tried without HDD ?

You can take out the non-working drive(s) and connect it (them) to a different PC, then turn on that PC and see if it recognizes it. (Make sure to turn off and unplug both PC's and ground yourself so you don't fry it.) If it doesn't, the drive is probably damaged.

If that ends up working, then the problem is in your PC (most likely mobo was damaged). I'd still suggest running chkdsk and a SMART Long test on any surviving drives and look into replacing them if you don't keep any backups.

Yeah I have, and I used the same cable for both, my hdd popped up on bios and ssd didnt

 

[matthewperacio]

Update: my ssd is now being detected but it still getting the reboot and boot proper device

 

[matthewperacio]

Update2: I’m now clueless on what the problem is, when only my ssd/hdd is connected it gets detected but when both are connected none get detected.
Is this due to the cable? Or motherboard?

As you have data you don’t want to loose I would stop trying to fix this until you have your data backed up. An option it buy another SSD, take the existing one out and install Windows on the new one. Then connect the old drive (I’d recommend using a USB caddy) and rescue your data. Otherwise find another pc, friends, family or local pc store and backup the data you don’t want to loose.

I agree. By the look of things you'll have to replace your motherboard and/or disks. Best to have a copy of your data outside the damaged PC before running the broken configuration, in case more stuff breaks down.

You can use a usb enclosure with your phone, just need a specific OTG adapter like this, fyi it MUST say it's an OTG! ;

Edit, a decent modern phone required I should add. Also needs external power supply...
