I received several dead laptops with nvme disks showing in the bios that are ATA locked. Is there any way to format and use those disks or they are just trash? Thx

This issue has me stumped! I have this Lenovo IdeaPad and the SSD (NVME) keeps on randomly disconnecting. It'll stop being detected in BIOS randomly and when I turn it off and back on sometimes it'll detect again and boot up just fine...only to crash after a few minutes and either boot again or stop being detected.
Things I tried so far:
- Reset the CMOS by removing battery, held power buttons 60 seconds, all that jazz.
- BIOS is fully updated (had to use CHA341 because I bricked it the first time trying to update it)
- Tried multiple working NVME drives... -
For Badcaps Readers, Please note that I am hopefully going to present this same message to Lenovo to see if they have any insight to the matter as well and figured to share the entirety here for clarification. The System is out of warranty as it is but does have the option to have it extended.

Model is ideapad 1 15amn7 ,the board is 5B21J30218 HLS1C_HLS1D LA-L502P with ryzen 5 7th gen... The laptop came to me for broken hinges and displaying only the backlight on the screen...i repaired the hinges and tried booting and all i got was backlight on the screen,but caps lock worked, so i figured the screen or the flat cable was bad, i had the same laptop and connected the cable and screen from the other and the screen acted same, and original lcd works on the other laptop...so then i started removing wifi card and nvme and it started showing picture and i figured out the nvme was blocking... -
