Dear reader,
I have searched far and wide and found several similar issues and/or posts, however none of them seem t work, and compared to many threads many my problem is (slightly) different.
Last week I bought a new Acer Nitro 515-56 (32gb RAM) and it was working perfectly fine until today I was trying to create a backup, as I rather wanted to restore the backup from another old laptop (However due to safety reasons I first wanted to create a backup of the Acer itself). The laptop was plugged in, however, at one point or another I noticed that (during or perhaps after creating the backup) it shut off, and when it turned on again just mentioned "No Bootable Device".
After searching on the internet I found several explanations on how to access the BIOs and get access to the Boot section, be it as F2 or as F12 screen, and have tried multiple different combinations of turning on or off the "Secure Boot" and setting "User Passwords". Nevertheless, within the F2 window I am never able to change the UEFI Boot mode into Legacy (which may be for the best, but I don't have enough knowledge regarding such problems), whereas in the F12 window I simply get an empty window, the same as true for the F2 Boot section: There is not even a single name in the "Boot Priority Order" list. Most other threads or examples I found on the internet do have at least one item within the list, but I have 0.
Moreover, I hoped that perhaps I could just restory the factory setting via "Alt+F10", however no matter how often I tried (or during which section of the start up, or F2/F12 window for the matter) it does not work.
Yes, I have seen the occasional solution of removing the battery (be it and internal or an external one), however, I don't know how problematic that would be regarding my insurance policies, as I simply only ave the laptop for 6 days. So in that case I'll just send it back and request a new one, because prior to this morning it as been working perfectly fine.
I partially hope that somebody has had a similar problem and found their solution, and otherwise hope that somebody can tell me that the best option would indeed just be sending it back and asking for a new one.
Thank you in advance, and have a nice day.
