    Product Name: HP m6 w105dx
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
    So...I simply try to install an M.2 SSD in my M6 order thee exact duplicate Hp would use, after it arrives I discover it has no M.2 adaptor in it, it has the slot but no adaptor, So I order a 1 tb evo 850 and while im in there I pull the motherboard to jack up the memory from 8 to 16 after cloning the origina HDD( i think where the prob lies) I install everything make a video on how to take out the motherbard etc. trun it on and ............ Nothing it doesnt boot no xcreen NADA the fan turns on and off a bit, but nothing, SO. I pull the SSD and re install the original and still nothing. I think I may have fouled up cloning the HDD i did it thru my M7 hp so to not have to reinstall the HDD. any thoughts?? Im dead in the water here.

    Sounds like you broke something in the disassembly and reassembly

    Gonna say you either didnt reseat the RAM sticks property or you made a mistake when disassembling/reassembling it

    Tbh that laptop design is terrible that you have to remove the motherboard in order to upgrade the RAM, thats a joke to me.

    You posted about the m2 ssd in another thread. I am pretty sure your laptop comes stock with an M2 slot next to the SATA III slot so there would be no need for an adapter there. As far as the issue you are currently having, try the original RAM. It could be an issue with the new RAM you are using. Are you at least seeing the HP boot screen?

    If you can get in the BIOS, make sure the boot drive is set for the new drive as well.
