So I recently got a Blue Screen of Death and ended up having to get a new motherboard; now my SSD is corrupted, my PC recognizes the disk and the partitions but can’t access or edit anything because the disk became “read-only”; I tried all sorts of solutions I found online regarding typing commands in CMD. My SSD is a HP EX900 M.2 500GB. I tried typing its serial number on here to look up the warranty but it won’t recognize the number. I’m not even sure if I still have warranty for it but I’d really like to get this fixed even if I lose my data as I can’t afford a new one and I’m currently using windows on my Hard Drive :((( please help

Hi. thanks for your reply, here’s the number
P/N:2YY44AA#ABC
Theres also an S/N but I’m not sure if you need that one/if I can post it in this thread?
When I try to format it says “disc is write protected”
Last time it was working was about 2 weeks ago when I first got the blue screen, after that I replaced my motherboard and noticed the SSD was corrupted, I can see it in my driver manager but can’t erase anything.
