I have had trouble signing into my Acer Swift SF114-32-P5FF since yesterday (I have had this laptop since somewhere late August/early September 2018). As far as I know, I have not made any recent changes that could be causing the following issue.
Yesterday I turned on my laptop and saw a black screen, but it seemed as if the laptop was working while the screen wasn't, as the keyboard lit up. After restarting it a few times, I ended up at the login screen without being able to log in; I just saw the lock-screen image. Later, I ended up here again and I was able to log in and found some programs still open (Chrome, Spotify). The laptop was responding really late and it was slow, I decided to turn it off again as I couldn't do anything. Tried turning it on again, but now seeing 'No bootable device', every time I restart the laptop.
In BIOS, this is what I see:
Am I correct in saying something is wrong with the SSD or does the fault lie in the operating system not working properly somehow?
- SSD is not visible anywhere in BIOS, right, so is this the issue?
- Going back to defaults in the BIOS and restarting does not help
- If the issue is the operating system, will I lose everything (my biggest worry) if I am able to reinstall Windows 10 somehow?
Seeing as I am a newbie, I hope you can help me. Please tell me if I need to provide any additional information. Many thanks!
