SSD Upgrade Trouble Omen 16

[EsCalaToR_OnE]

Hello @all:

I am using a HP Omen 16-wd0275ng and i tried to upgrade the 512 GB M2-SSD to a 2 TB Samsung 990.

So I removed the battery, changed the SSD and then reconnected the Battery.

After Power-On Screen won´t turn on, Fans running for 3 Seconds, and then nothing.

So same procedure, but replacing new ssd with the old one.

->same behavior. ...after Power-On Screen won´t turn on, Fans running for 3 Seconds, and then nothing.

So I pressed several times long and short the powerbutton, and after countless tries (I think around 5 Minutes the Screen turned on, I got a CMOS-Checksum-Error, and then the laptop was running normal.

So I replaced again the SSD with the new one...same behavior. ...after Power-On Screen won´t turn on, Fans running for 3 Seconds, and then nothing. I tried over 10 Minutes the Power on/off Method without luck.

->next step, reinstalling the original SSD again.

->same behavior. ...after Power-On Screen won´t turn on, Fans running for 3 Seconds, and then nothing.

So I pressed several times long and short the powerbutton, and after countless tries again the checksumerror and then the laptop was running fine again.

Whats wrong? Is there a special routine an a Win 11 machine to replace the ssd with all this security-Stuff inside or did I anything else wrong?

Put the old one back and it won't work. Did you earth yourself properly when removing part(s) inside your machine ? It is very importance to use something like the following tool when inside a cold area to work on electronic parts.

Of course, yes. I am complely equiped with all the electrostatic stuff.

Laptop is still working with the old SSD after several Times Power-off/on.

New Samsung Gen4. NVME SSD 990pro is still working in my external case.

So nothing is brocken.

I only don´t understand why I have so much trouble to power-on the system again after swapping the ssd´s and why I cannot make the new samsung ssd able to work.

Sometimes waiting is enough. 12 Minutes after Power on the Screen also was powering on with the new SSD. Once Again I got the Checksumerror and one (very fast) reboot later everything is running as expected.
