Password removed but doesn't detect SSD

Hello everyone,
I am looking for some expert help to generate a master unlock code for my Dell laptop. In January, I bought this laptop second-hand.

- takes long time to restart.
- sometimes powers on and then off
- sometimes while working it just dies,
From googling online bios clean could possible resolve this?
i was able to save bios and was going to try bios clean myself but get an below error when i drop it in ME analyzer.(unsure whether this sometimes occurs or could be due to bad/corrupt bios)
As ME analyzer gave me an error i just decided to write bios with a cleaned bios from E7270 bios post.
I reinstall... -
