X250 Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2022 10:22 pm
Hello,
I've come across this error: "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)". I know it's very common, but I've tried almost everything to no avail. I wanted to see if there are any suggestions before I give up on it. This error occurred when I was swapping out my SATA SSDs (I've swapped it before without any issue), but the other day, the detection error appeared after swapping. So far, I've:
Bought a new SATA connector, which also results in the same error
Tried a different SSD (both SSDs work in a different computer)
Unplugged the CMOS battery for a few minutes and put it back in
Took out the external battery and put it back in
Clicked the button under the "Emergency-reset hole"
Stabilized SSD with a thin sponge
Unplugged internal battery
Tried "reinstalling" bios from USB, but utility doesn't let me since it's already up to date
Some more info:
* The bios works fine, I can also boot from USB as well
* Storage device does not appear at all in hardware diagnostics in bios
* Error does not show up when I detach the sata cable
* The pins on the motherboard appear to be fine, nothing noticeable
* At some point along the way, I experienced this: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comme ... power_led/, and resolved it via the reset button; i'm not sure if this has anything to do with the SSD detection issue.
My conclusion is that this is an issue with the motherboard, but it fascinates me because I do not recall doing anything that would cause this. If anyone has any suggestions, It'd be much appreciated. I'd hate to give up a usable piece of hardware
Thanks in advance!
