      Try using some diagnostic software or data recovery software to see what partitions and data is on the HDD

          Have you tried SpinRite? Maybe your HDD has a bad sector and just needs a little from SpinRite to move bad bit which isn't allowing your HDD to boot.

          I'm guessing your on Windows?

              Nintendo Switch Oled HEG-001: Second-Stage Boot Failure
              by privato89
              Hello everyone,

              I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.

              Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.

              Let's begin:

              Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the...

              Samsung 55" TV - Boot loop but sometimes works fine - UE55MU6470U
              by torchzack
              Hi Team - just joined to see if anyone can offer some expertise in diagnosing an issue with a TV.

              I've done a few hours googling and youtubing but just seeing if anyone has any insight here. I got a 55" Samsung UE55MU6470U which seems to boot loop and then after 10 mins will boot, work for a few minutes, then turn off and repeat.

              Whilst it's on into the normal Samsung menu/boot screen it looks perfect - so I can't see there being any screen issues. I've seen lots of videos with taping across clock lines to diagnose which particular one may be an issue but i don't...

              What's not working right?
              The system does not even POST, display is black,
              LEDs on - power led, aiplane mode, capslock fpr few seconds in the start(when connected to ac power) only.


              When did the problem happen?
              My laptop had dual boot setup, ubuntu and windows 10.
              It already had a moklist error, that would occur when i tried to boot ubuntu.

              ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
              by DynaxSC
              Hi,

              I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

              Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
              Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

              The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
              • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
              • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
              ...
