HP Recommended
Product: HP Z2 Mini G3 Base Model Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I received a hard drive error message. I attached a USB drive and ran the backup utility. I replaced the 2.5 " Crucial mx300 drive with a little larger Samsung drive. Now the unit will not power up. Fans do not start or anything. The little light beside where I plug the power supply in does not tight up. I can see a red led illuminated just inside down low inside the chassis. The power switch on the front is a little jacked like it won't pop back out flush but it does seem to make an on/off click. I did check and it is properly seated in it's slot. It was like this when it was working. Could the different SSD drive (not Crucial mx300) be the cause?
