Hi all,
I've recently been having boot problems with my PC. After inspecting all the cables and ports I found that my SSD (Mushkin Reactor) has a missing pin on the sata power connector. Not sure how this happened..my PC has been happily running without any hardware changes for about a year. Here's a picture:
What's my next move here? Is there some way to replace that power connector on the drive? Would that cost more than just a purchasing a new SSD? Is it totally toast?
This is not a catastrophic data loss situation. It's 2018 so everything is backed up somewhere... But it would be very inconvenient to have to reinstall windows, figure out how to transfer dozens of software licences, reinstall about a billion steam games, etc.
Any help one what to do next would be great.
