I have a p650se with 1 year that was running windows 8.1 pretty easily so far.
Yesterday, out of f****** nowhere a blue screen popped up with a message aiming towards "critical service failure", and windows started collecting some information for a few minutes. "Time to format windows" I foolishly tought.
After the restart, it's like the drive had never been there. Bios couldn't find it and was keeping. Time to pop up my cellphone and make the question many other people had made. What happened to the drive?
In this process I've tried the following stuff I've read around the forums:
1) Reset the bios settings to default values.
2) Leave the computer on for 30 minutes, shutdown, take the m.2 module off for 30 seconds. Leave the computer on for 30 minutes again, rinse and repeat.
3) Take off battery and unplug power cord. Try to turn on a few time to dissipate some energy (not sure this really works, but tried anyway)
4) Take off the battery and every other drive but the ssd, reset the bios, leave the computer on for 30 minutes, reset the laptop and hope for the drive to be recognized.
Nothing worked so far. Any hint? Is there anything I can try? I really wanna get some of the files back.
