DAY11AM6E0 hard disk drive and optical disk drive not detected

[madura2010]

Today recieved hp model 17-f100nx laptop with no power.(motherboard=DAY11AMB6E0) after that repaired +1.05v section due to faulty buck converter.after that power issue fixed and laptop turns on.But "no bootable 3f0 error displayed".so then

i checked the connectivity of ribbon=good communication with hard and motherboard

changed hard disk and checked=3f0 error persist

sata power=+5v available

Then checked data capacitors=all good

Then checked data lines path connectivity to pch=all good

reflashed pch bios, cleaned Me region and flashed=3f0 error still persist

Then i checked the detection of hard disk and optical disk drive at bios=so both sata devices not detecting.

so i assume it is a broken PCH Sata section.is that i am correct?

is their anyway to connect and run windows using external usb hard drive?i have tried with "WiNTouSB" software to install windows to a portable ssd hard.but that hard disk also not detected in F9 boot menu after enabling all legacy+uefi modes.so what to do?(usb data lines working perfect as external keyboard function properly)

If the USB ports are functional and your USB media (thumbdrive) is a quality one, you should be able to boot from the USB.

The USB can contain FreeDOS (we use this often); Linux; Windows.

From our experience, avoid Kingston brand USB thumbdrives - they fail to boot on many motherboards unless you perform a warm boot (CTRL + ALT + DEL) after a power on.

Lexar is great. We use the Rufus tool (recommended) to create bootable USB media. Test it with FreeDOS first and see if this DOS OS boots or not with your box.

thank you very much for valuable information. is it possible to run laptop by operating system installed to a external usb hard disk drive(usb portable hard) as this laptop internal hard drive sata section is non functional from faulty pch sata section?

If the USB ports are functional then yes, USB is an option for booting an OS. Please note that the throughput of the USB port will be slower than using the internal SATA or PCIe interconnect for the bootable media.

You can test out the boot process using the RUFUS tool + a good USB thumbdrive and a bootable OS like FreeDOS; USB live image of Linux; Windows (as per the articles from Microsoft). Not 100% sure if Windows as a complete OS will be loadable by USB but for sure they allow the USB method of installing the OS.

That is, in theory, you should be able to use the USB port #1 to install the OS onto an external USB driven target (external drive, etc.).

I'll still suggest to replace the HDD cable.
