    Choosing proper SSD drive for HP 15 - bs0xx board

    Hi guys,
    I have hp15 laptop, the model exactly as described here:
    https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebo...x/td-p/8048592
    Picture of the SSD slot is attached.

    The thing is that I have M.2 2280 SSd drive Kingston A2000, SA2000M8/250 GB.
    It doesn't fit, so it seems that this slot on the motherboard is actually for SSD drives with B key, which are pretty rare nowadays, since Nvme are dominating.
    When fitting drive to slot normally electronics and labels should be faced upwards to me while installing the drive.
    This kingston drive has this notch on the right side, but slot has on the left.

    Which M+B key drive fit this slot on the motherboard?

    Are you sure that's an SSD slot ? Where are the mounting holes ?

      The screw is exactly 80 mm from the slot (goes over these flat cables).
      Right below the slot is written JSSD and there is a screw to keep drive in place.
      Please have a look at the attached picture.

        looks like SATA.
        the whole connector thing on modern pc's is a shitshow!

          Yes indeed, I manage to google it out eventually. It is M.2 SATA and the drive must be 80 mm SATA (not NvMe) that has both B and M key on the connector.

            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
            by Tynan Dill
            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

            Assuming...

            Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
            Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

            TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
            by howardc64
            All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
            • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
            • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

            Repairing a Seagate hard drive with damaged logic board
            by karto95
            Hello everyone,

            I'm currently facing an issue with my Seagate hard drive that has a damaged logic board. I've obtained a replacement logic board from a donor hard drive, but unfortunately, I'm unable to recover the BIOS of the original board due to damaged firmware. I'm wondering if it's possible to make the hard drive work with this donor logic board.

            I have a CH341A programmer, so I'm hoping that it can be useful in this situation. I've attached the BIOS file .bin of the donor board for reference.

            If anyone has any suggestions or experience with this...

            Problem

            This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....
