When starting up my Acer Aspire 3, I receive a message stating 'No Bootable Device'. I have accessed the BIOS menu, reset the defaults, and tried restarting. Nothing seems to be working.
I believe this issue is a result of static electricity affecting the hard drive. The laptop started up fine after the static electricity incident, then froze so I shut down. Upon starting up again, I received the 'No Bootable Device' message.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

A little more information:
Acer Aspire 3 A315-21-95KF
AMD Dual-Core Processor A9-9420
6 GB DDR4 Memory

Recovering data isn't an issue, I had everything important backed up before this issue started.

    i think the HDD is gone, so the only thing you can do is to put a new one on your laptop.
    I'm not an Acer employee.

    The two biggest reasons for that message is as IronFly suggested a bad disk or having the BIOS reconfigured to the wrong UEFI/Legacy mode. The second one is less likely, but also fairly easy to check.
