Background Info:
Have been using the laptop with no problems or modifications for the past 3 years.
Problem:
I tried to upgrade the HDD to a 860 evo ssd. I cloned the drive using Samsung’s cloning software and swapped the drives then turned on the laptop. It worked fine for the first time that I booted on the ssd. After I turned it off and tried to use the laptop again later on, it would not get past the acer logo (there was no loading circle under the logo like usual).
Attempts:
I already tried to use the previous hdd (which still has exactly the same data as the sdd), I tried to take out the cmos and wait, I tried to reset the laptop with the tiny button on the bottom of the laptop as well all these things did nothing and the device stays on the acer logo. I also tried to boot into the bios but the f2 button is not opening the bios. Another problem that developed later on is the laptop is not working off of the built in battery anymore as I tried testing each of the above solutions. Now it only works if it is plugged into the wall.
If you guys have any advice it would be very appreciated as this is my only computer and I really need it for school.
