@EggheadFixers

4 жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear that:( First you need to try what we call reseating the Hard Drive which means unplugging and then plugging it back in to make sure its not an issue with the connection. If that does not work then most likely your hard drive has died and needs replacing. Here is a video on how to replace your hard and install an operating system: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnmgpax9kq7Ke84.html Let me know if you have any questions:)

Thanks for the video. Very Helpful. However my ssd still couldn't be detected. I replaced the ssd and tried to install windows and the rst driver and it still would not detect a drive. i plugged my external ssd in and it detected. does this mean my motherboard/ssd port are bad? is there a cheap fix?

@EggheadFixers

3 жыл бұрын

Yes it could mean that the port is bad but there are some other possibilities I would try. For example when you run the diagnostic does it read the new drive as there and working? Does it see it in BIOs? If yes then it could be a problem with the settings in BIOS. If no then it most likely is the SSD motherboard port issue. Also is the replacement SSD new? If not you could have another bad SSD.

It worked for me. Thank you!

It should be similar options but set up differently. What happens when you run the diagnostic?

Dell XPS15 9550 working fine until massive W10 update 5 days ago. Now caught in doom loop. F2 setup is as you describe and F12 diagnostics show no fault. It doesn't seem 100% fixable by some way. Perhaps the bios got corrupted?

Sound like the update was unsuccessful and now Windows is corrupt. Have you tried reinstalling Windows? Here are videos on how to do that: Windows 10: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnmgpax9kq7Ke84.html Windows 11: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4KCm9Wsd6bemco.html

Hi I am using a Vostro 5480 and ran a diagnostic check. it states hard drive not installed. I had a different interface with blue and white background in setup. Went to setup utility and all the stuffs u mentioned were already there but still can't restart normally. SATA only has AHCI and I had boot option priorities instead of boot sequence. The boot option#1 is windows boot manager. There was no other better choices. Please aid on this...I have been trying for the whole morning :'( Does long pressing the power button for 15/30 secs works? It only power off the screen and brings me back to the no boot screen. *this is not the first time I encountered this but it restarts after I left it for a few hours

Sorry to hear that☹ First I would try what we call reseating the hard drive which means unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Then rerun the diagnostic. If that does not work then its most likely that you need a new hard drive. Sometimes when a hard drive really dies the motherboard doesn't read it as being installed. Also Windows boot manager should be set first in your boot order so that is done correctly. Here is a video on how to replace your hard drive and install an operating system: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnmgpax9kq7Ke84.html Let me know how it goes:)

Hi I have the same problem where is says "no bootable devices found" i did try the f2 key to startup BIOS, but nothing happens.

Make sure you start hitting F2 right away on startup. If that doesn't work then you can look up your Dell model some older models use I different function key for entering BIOS. Also there is also the option of trying an external keyboard to see if your F2 button is not functioning. Let me know how it goes:)

Do you know what that black part is called, the one where you put the hard drive wire in and then you put in a black little piece

What part of the video? If you could give me the minute and second I'll let you know.

During the diagnostic test is it supposed to flash white red green blue black and white? Mine has been doing that for a while.

Are you talking about the LCD test at the beginning? You usually have to select yes for the diagnostic to progress.

If you have an older version of BIOS then you most likely you do not UEFI and legacy settings. If you find this to be true skip to the portion of the video on running the diagnostic.

When I do the ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment it brings me to a whole different screen, it may be because my model is a DELL PRECISION M6800 and I have a pretty old maybe like 2008-2013 computer, As I'm doing this it says that my primary battery is reaching the end of its usable life, and the hard drive says it is not installed.

My bios screen doesn't look like that. I haven't found a video yet that has the same bios screen as my Dell Inspiron 15 3531. Originally had Windows 8.1, upgraded to Windows 10. No hard drive installed error on testing.

Sorry to hear that:( If all that hardware passed the diagnostic then the next step would be to try reinstalling the operating system. Usually this problem is caused by a problem with operating system.

It could be a problem with the hard drive port itself. If the port is bad then the computer won't even read the hard drive as being installed.

Ya unfortunately it's a common problem. When you replaced the hard drive did you install a new Operating System? If you installed Windows 10 are the BIOS settings set to UEFI with Secure Boot on?

Nice video, unfortunately my hard drive still wasn't detected. I think the hard drive is good - while I had it out I tried it in an external dock with no problems. I'm wondering if the problem is on the mother board - I can't hear the hard drive running on startup?

It could be a bad hard drive port or if the hard drive wasn't detected but still works then it could be that the hard drive is starting to fail. They can last a long time kind of sort of working.
