    Hi,
    I decided to upgrade my laptop HP Pavilion dv3-2050ew with SSD Agility 3 120GB, f/w 2.22.
    This SSD i have from my PC which received bigger one. It was working fine in my PC.
    I did secure erase of SSD and put it in my laptop. After installing system it started to freeze. First during driver instalation, but after restart I was able to finish instalation. Then I restarted laptop and it froze at very first screen where it asks to "press Esc to enter BIOS setup". Hard reset and removing battery did not help. Laptop freezes just after pressing power button. Looks like SSD is no longer recognized and system is not loading any further...
    Any help? Is my laptop too old already to work with this SSD?
