Samsung NP300E4A Sata port: Not Installed (HDD) Everytime i power on this laptop it wont boot the HDD because the “Sata port: Not Installed (HDD)” but if i wiggle the sata cable of the HDD then power back on it works everytime . i don’t want to this everytime i will power on this laptop. WHAT WOULD BE THE FIX FOR THIS? Thanks !
Hi, Is the SATA cable seated firmly into both connectors, motherboard and HDD? Can you isolate it to whether you have to move the ‘motherboard’ end of the SATA cable or the HDD end of the SATA cable at all? Depending on which end the problem seems to be it may be either a faulty (loose) SATA connector on the motherboard, (hopefully not), a faulty SATA connector cable or a faulty (loose) HDD connection. Unfortunately if you cannot easily determine exactly where the problem lies you may have to change either the HDD or the SATA cable, to prove by a process of elimination, where the problem is .
