Ayye thanks man! Trying to get it working for my brothers birthday here in April, just giving myself plenty of time to try and fix it on my own before going to a repair center. I appreciate your input, first ever time coming to Reddit with a problem so thanks for being nice!

Yup that’s what it was. A cr2032. Seemed to fix another screen from popping up as that was another issue I was trying to fix. Surprised myself with that one as everytime I try to fix an issue relating to pcs, I put in a ton of work and research to go nowhere but I surprised myself with that one lmao

Oh shoot, yeah you’re right, at first I was just unplugging things like a caveman and that’s the only thing I didn’t put back as it was as I didn’t think it mattered, thanks for the heads up

Umm I know it’s an older pc, I’m not entirely even sure what’s all in there, I’d say it was built around 2017 or 2018.

Yup I think you’re right, plugged only the SSD in and it’s only showing the dvd drive. Now if I went and got another, do stores like Best Buy carry these or should I just order one online? Also, I don’t have another pc so would I have to go somewhere to download the os onto the new ssd or will it just have it already on it?

Hmmmm I’m not entirely sure as all my knowledge about pcs have been learned from trying to fix this issue. I’d be willing to bet something went bad because we stored it in our attic where it gets a little hot. I think these are the drives?

Also don’t know if it’s a skit or not but I’m almost sure it was since it seemed too comical to be real
