I wanted to upgrade my laptop to a ssd. It has a m.2 slot and it can fit the ssd nicely. The laptop is am Asus a542u, model number x542uf. And the m.2 ssd is a manufactured by hp. After i plugged it in, there's no sign that the m.2 has been connected, not in the bios nor in windows disk management. I flashed the bios to the newest version from asus but it didn't work. I know the ssd is good cause it can be detected by one of my acer laptop. I suspect the m.2 connector is bad, but there's no sign that the motherboard had been damaged.
