Display not working after SSD installation Predator Helios 300 PH315-54-760S

Hello,

I recently purchased the Predator Helios 300 (link to the specific model can be found here: Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-54-760S Gaming Laptop | Intel i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU | 15.6" Full HD 144Hz 3ms IPS Display | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD | Killer WiFi 6 | RGB Keyboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092YHJLS6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_S9Q86XCSZTQCMKS2A8NX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). After installing an SSD in the HDD/SDD slot following an instructional video by Acer, my laptop will turn on, boot up, and the keyboard will light up. However, although the display appears to turn on, the Predator logo never shows and the screen just stays slightly lit. Has anyone experienced this problem and know a solution? I am stressing.

Thank you in advance!

So, I isolated the issue to it being the SSD. When I took the SSD out, the computer returned to operating like normal. No clue what the issue could be or how it somehow affected the monitor display. Seems very odd, but I’m just happy to have my laptop back in its previous condition.
