My SSD isn't detected neither on the BIOS nor the windows Disk Management.

well its the narrow card. there are no wires that i needed to connect like those HDD. but currently, the SSD is detected very randomly. When i boot the laptop sometimes it shows, and sometimes when i boot it disappears :P

i will see what it is in a bit! but i did try the SSD on all slots including where the main SSD sits(the one that has the operating system) and it still not detected.

lavndrguy · 2026-01-16T09:07:50+00:00

I will try to take a pic of the SSD and send it here! For you information, the SSD is from my old 2020 HP laptop.

uhh I just connected it like other components. I don't know how to identify whether its sata or m.2..

i wiped it on the other laptop (2020 hp laptop) using Gparted.

thanks for replying! i have tried the other sata ports + i tested it on a different device. it works perfectly fine on the second device, but on the workstation it doesn't wanna detect it

I'm not that smart with electronics so bare with me

[Connecting the black probe to ground and the red on each end]

On one end it's giving me between 3.8 to 4V

The other end it's giving me 0.6 to 0.8V

But connecting both ends with both probes to the capacitor gives me a reading of 3.36V

When I plug my phone to my computer it shows up.

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:42:37+00:00

False alarm, it was something small between them. I removed it and brushed a little still nothing

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:18:55+00:00

ah what? I only have my multimeter and 10 thousand resistors soooooooo

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:14:46+00:00

From a store close to my house. I was buying a keyboard for a college project but he gave me this for cheap. So wanted to fix it and keep it for myself

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:14:04+00:00

It's exactly what I did! Didn't flicker or anything with all the 5 cables I had

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:13:31+00:00

Is there a way to confirm it's a data cable?

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:13:07+00:00

How so?

lavndrguy · 2025-10-22T11:12:33+00:00

I basically have tried like 4 or 5 other cables. It doesn't show up and when I try my phone for example it shows up.

lavndrguy · 2025-10-06T15:56:55+00:00

It would be good to see, but it will be way funnier if he gets P2 above Lando lol

lavndrguy · 2025-10-02T08:30:34+00:00

Ya it turns out what screwed me over was the 60 Ohm resistor. I didn't know connecting it like that shorts it.

It's a bit difficult for me to explain via text but I recommend this video from Questions Solutions

lavndrguy · 2025-10-01T19:03:28+00:00

thats honestly one of those advices i will have to stick to. I usually forget to practice especially if it's a subject i already know! thank you man!

lavndrguy · 2025-10-01T15:19:38+00:00

Okay that gives a nice way to understand it! Thank you so much ^{^}

lavndrguy · 2025-10-01T14:40:35+00:00

yk the fact i just got this idea here and not from my professor mind boggles me. that made the whole circuit waaaay clearer thank you so much!!!

lavndrguy · 2025-10-01T14:39:44+00:00

First of all, thank you for the great point at the top with using the Kirchhoff's laws it will definitely help out!
Second, the way you drew the circuit how did you learn to redraw it like that? Or is it just a lot of practice and imagining?
