Got my son a new 500gb NVME for Xmas to use as an additional storage drive in his laptop. I installed it on Boxing Day enabled the drive etc and it's been working fine for the last 4 days.
Today he told me his laptop wasn't turning on so I had a look and found that while the power led was lighting up the laptop would not boot even to bios.
I took it apart to make sure all the connectors were in place and still no luck so I removed the new NVME and it booted up as normal, I put the NVME back in and no boot again. I repeated this a few times and each time it would not boot up even to the bios with the NVME installed.
Then I left it out, went into Windows and updated the bios. Tried the NVME again and it's working normally again.
Any ideas why it would suddenly stop working like this?
