Hi

After some week of leafing the notebook untouched I tried to boot it again, but had several problmes, I assume it's because the battery was empty. After fixing the BIOS password, I see in BIOS info screen the HDD0 "Model WDC PC SN20 SDAPNUW-512G-1014". But no device is shown in the Boot screen. During initialization of the notebook, it blames "No bootable device". I reset BIOS to default, no improvement.

As far as I know, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard, the notebook is probably garbage…

Any ideas?

    Solved:

    I cross-checked with gparted on bootable SD stick, it shows the nvme, so I checked BIOS again.
    It was because battery was too low. BIOS "forgot" the EFI boot file (maybe it was reset to factory defaults), which is located at /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi. Entering a Supervisor password allows to change the "UEFI file as trusted" to the right location.
