    Please help me. Finished repasting and my SSD is not detected in the bios. Everytime I boot it on it keeps saying "Checking Media Precense" Then proceeds to "No bootable device found".

    Not exactly sure what to do...I did the unplugging and plugging in back again.

    Did diagnostic and everything is working well.

    SSD however is not showing up.

    Any help would be apppreciated! Please!!!!!!

    Is it possible you may have broken it? Like liquid on the circuits, short, bent contacts.....
