[sm123d]

Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade my HP 280 G2 HDD using Kingston SUV500240G , The challenge I have is that when I add my Kingston ssd, my computer does not POST,

I am not sure if issue is current sata cables or power issues . Please note also i tested the ssd in my 8th gen laptop and 4th gen and it worked no issues . kindly assist

Remove the power and data cable from the OS drive.
Plug them into the kingston drive.
Does the machine post?

Just to be sure.....what do you mean by does not post?

That means you probably broke something or somethings not connected properly

Let me try replacing the sata cables they seem not to hold firm , though the same are working just fine when i put back the harddrive,
