Hey guys
Yesterday I had the problem that my PC couldn't start. The error message "...please insert proper boot device..." occurred. My BIOS does not show my SSD.
Today, I picked up another SATA cable. When I compared them to each other, I noticed, that the old had something more in it (?) The new cable wouldn't even fit in the connector on the SSD. It turned out, that the thing inside the cable was a plastic spacer for the connection on the SSD. (This plastic thing does lead the cable to fit on the pins).

Is there a way to fix this? I use this drive as my primary one (and only one). And unfortunately, I haven't done a backup of the drive....
I would appreciate it, if somebody could help me.
best regards,
Vincent
