No bootable device - Acers Swift 1 - 2018

majoutennes

Recently, my computer shut down randomly and was not able to restart, as I was sent to the screen "No bootable device". I have already tried to restart the system with secure boot disabled, with no help. Do you have any advice for getting the PC back to life? The model is four years old.

What is the exact model name? Example SF114-34.

Hi @majoutennes

You can try to do a BIOS reset to check if that makes any difference.

How do I reset my BIOS/UEFI to default settings?

1. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, or until your system shuts completely down.
2. Power on the system.
3. Press F9 and then Enter to load the default configuration.
4. Press F10 and then Enter to save and exit.

If that doesn't work then you can try to do a reset to check if that makes any difference.

NOTE: Make sure to backup all the data before the reset.

Hope it will help you in some way.

Have you checked your HDD with CrystalDiskInfo? Any issues found?

The SF113-31 models came with either an eMMC drive soldered to the motherboard or a SATA SSD in an M.2 slot on the motherboard. If your system came originally with a 32GB or 64GB drive it's an eMMC, if a 128GB it could be either type, if 256GB it's a SATA M.2 drive. Most likely if you have a drive failure it's an eMMC drive. They have a much lower spec for the number of writes than can be done before failing and yours is right in the sweet spot for those failures. The solution if it is a failed eMMC is to install an M.2 SATA drive and reinstall Windows on it. From that point on you just ignore the failed eMMC drive and use the new working drive instead. Let us know which specs your system had and whether I;m right about it being an eMMC...

I'm sorry, but this is past my knowledge. I can tell it says SATA mode: AHC1, I believe the system had a 128 GB drive, and 4GB memory. 
CPU Info: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CCPU n4200 @ 1 .10GH

Go into the BIOS and takes pictures for us of the Main tab and the Advanced tab. In the picture for the Main tab blank out the serial number...
