I have a Falcon II FM-25S2I-64GBF2. It had firmware 2030 on it and was running fine.
The other day, the SSD stopped being recognised in BIOS and I'm assuming I've lost all my data.
If I put the jumoer on the SSD and boot, the laptop recognises the drive (as a 128Gb) but can't do anything with it. As soon as I remove the jumper, it's back to being unrecognised.
I've tried formatting and updating the firmware again , but I just can't get the disk recognised without the jumper attached. I can't even boot from CD if the SSD is present without the jumper. I've tried various combinations with IDE and AHCI set.
The same applies if I connect it as an external USB drive - it's not recognised with no jumper, and recognised as a 128Gb drive that can't be initialised with the jumper on.
Please advise:
1. How can I tell if the SSD is totally dead?
2. If it's not dead, what are the steps to get it working again?
Thanks.
