[TriEmbed] Laptop crash

[The MacDougals]

I ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T8JGX7T

as my SSD is 2280 M.2 B

 

I will report back on what I find out.

Paul,

You might try an adapter to check it in another computer.  I use an external SATA-to-USB cable when doing things like checking drives on my Linux PC.  You can get one of these adapters from Amazon for $6.35 + $2 ship to adapt the Dell form factor to SATA:  https://smile.amazon.com/Adapter-2-5in-Converter-Solid-Drives/dp/B098JNTMYL/

My laptop crashed.  It says no hard drive detected.  This is a Dell Inspiron 7370 laptop with an internal SSD.

Sata M.2 256GB.  Here is a listing on Ebay for a used one:

Does anyone have one of these (or compatible form factor) that I could try putting into my machine to try

to determine if it is the drive or the motherboard that has failed?  Any other ideas?
