Help with near dead Crucial SSD

I was happily using my computer, then one morning it froze, after I restarted it, the computer stopped detecting the Hard Drive, so It asked me to insert a boot drive, it doesn't show up in the BIOS anymore, restoration software or windows installation.

I installed an old hard drive I had and it works normally, so I know is not an issue with the motherboard.

This is a SSD Crucial M4 256 GB, I bought this computer last October so is not even 6 months old yet,


I did the power cycle thing as suggested by Crucial, (power cable only, 30 min, etc), then I put it back in the laptop and now it just freezes on the boot screen, won't even let me get to the bios setup.

(the computer works normally with a different harddrive)

any suggestions on SSD revival? or is it dead?

 

I don't think that your SSD is dead yet . I think there is a conflict between your motherboard and ssd . I suggest you upgrade your firmware to latest one. They just released a new firmware lately .

go to crucial website and download the firmware, it resolves many issues . A note : before that , I ask you if you have a spare laptop or desktop , so that you can connect ssd and updated it. Also , if your ssd was detected by other pc, then this means that your ssd is working

 

Thanks, I'll try the firmware update,
Yeah, the SSD was detected by the other computer.
That's good news.
