I bought a 2 TB HP SSD EX950 M.2 last September, and installed it in my desktop system. It was running fine until yesterday, when a failed logitech mouse update hung the system. When it came back, I had the error "HDD Locked" on my new HP SSD! It appears to be a bios-level lock? Either way, I can't unlock it.
I went to the HP website to send in a support tag, but it's not recognizing my valid serial number. Could someone please give some assistance here? Thanks!

"SETTING THE UEFI ENABLED IT DID BROUGHT BACK EVERYTHING AND A NORMAL START AND OPERATION".
This is poor English, but I think you get the point.

Thanks, I read over it and it does not seem applicable. UEFI is already enabled, did not change.
What I was hoping for was someone from HP to get in touch so I can get an RMA going? I think this is now a failed drive that's still under warranty. I'd like to be able to use my warranty, but HP's system won't register it.
