Right now I do not have my laptop at the moment but can you tell me the whole procedure assuming that it is recognised and if it isn’t. Because I’m really stressed out right now. And I have a feeling that everything will get erased
is the procedure the same as the above? Or different.
it just says none. Even for the model number and serial number. Everything says none. My guess is that it’s broken and I need a new hdd or ssd.
Everything is working now. I just bought an ssd, which is much faster than hdd. The only problem is that the fan is still working when the laptop is turned off. Do you know how I can fix the fan to stop working from when I shut down my laptop?
what I did was I went to the bios. I went to the boot Menu and changed legacy to uefi. If that doesn’t work I just bought a new hdd or ssd. Now it works perfectly fine
