Hi there, it sounds like you may be experiencing issues with your HP Prodesk Mini due to the broken SATA header. If the connector for the flex cable in the motherboard is literally yanked off, it could be causing a problem with the detection of your Micron 1100 SATA M.2 SSD.

One potential solution is to replace the broken SATA header on your motherboard. However, this may be a complicated and potentially expensive repair, especially if you're not experienced with computer hardware.

Another option is to use an external SATA to USB adapter to connect your SSD to your computer. This would allow you to access the data on your SSD without needing to install it internally.

Sure, here's the revised paragraph in English:

If the issue cannot be resolved by replacing the SATA header on the motherboard or using an external SATA to USB adapter, and you just purchased this HP Prodesk Mini, you may need to reach out to the seller and return the item. They may offer you an exchange for another unit or reimburse you for the purchase cost.
