So this laptop had a faulty hard drive back in October, upgraded to a 240 GB SSD when replacing said bad drive. Today my friend brought it back in, doesn't boot just goes to Dell SupportAssist with "hard drive not installed" error. I pull the drive out and plug it into my desktop & run crystaldiskinfo on it....claims the drive is healthy, no issues. Put drive back into laptop- it booted into Windows ....I shut it down & made sure all connections were tight & put the bottom panel back on. I hit the power button & it went to Dell Support assist again "no drive installed" . The warranty run out in March of this year, 6 months later a hard drive failed, then less than 2 months later another problem. I got on chat with Dell & they were NO help at all. I can replace anything in this laptop but I have no idea as to what has went bad....is the motherboard faulty on this thing?? Any help would be appreciated! TIA
