Hey everyone!
My 3 yr old Acer Swift sf114-32 suddenly stopped working today-displaying no bootable device. I have gone into the Insyde H20 Setup Utility in the boot tab, there are no boot options (see photo). So none of the youtube clips that advise to press F9->F10, or add a boot option work.
Does this mean there is likely a faulty/broken data cable to the hardrive? If so, is this something I could repair myself?
Thanks in advance!

Please go to Information tab on Bios
check the info on the right side of hdd0 model name, hdd0 serial No,
check the info on the right side of hdd1 model name, hdd0 serial No,
If you are able to see none then it means hdd is not detected on the computer.
Hddo model name : None
Hdd0 serial no : None
Hdd1 model name : None
Hdd1 serial no : None
If you are able to see the hdd name then it means hdd is detected on the computer.
If the hdd is not detected then it means hdd is not communicating with the motherboard and it will not load the windows. We might have to reseat the hdd or there might be loose cable connection between internal components present inside the computer.
If the hdd is getting detected on Bios..
Try to check whether you are able to do the bios defaults now.

- is this something I could do at home? If so how?
thanks so much for your response
M.2 drive position in your laptop
M.2 type drives suitable for your laptop and fitted OEM by Acer. Btw, the capacities below can be higher e.g. 512GB, 1TB etc as Acer fits these capacities only due to and to save on costs.

so my laptop is acting up again with the new SSD. I am able to turn it on/use it for a period of time before it freezes, shuts down, then displays the no bootable device screen again. I am able to reboot it by going into the BIOS, pressing F9, yes, then F10, yes. However, once turned on again it will freeze again soon.
It is in ACHI mode, and i have also tried SSD freezing fix by checking the 4K alignment through the Mini Tool Partition wizard.
im guessing this is a hardware issue with the connection from the SSD to the motherboard??
any advice very welcome.
thanks.
