Why does my new computer show "No Bootable Device" or have no video on the screen?
Certain newer Western Digital solid-state drives equipped with built-in data retention technology may enter a self-repair mode. During this process, the system might display a "No Bootable Device" error or show no video output. This typically occurs during system startup while the self-repair operation is in progress.
If you are experiencing this behavior, you should perform the steps below to resolve this issue.
What to do when a "No Bootable Device" error message or no display appears
- Wait at least 30 seconds after the "No Bootable Device" message or No display symptom appears, then proceed to step 2 below.
- Press and hold the Power key for 5 seconds to turn the computer completely off.
- Power the system back on and see if it boots properly.
- Repeat this procedure until the system boots to Windows. It should only take a few times.
- Once your computer boots up, you should update to the latest BIOS for your model to prevent this message from appearing again.
