On this less the one year old Laptop im getting a error.
"Boot device not found
Hard disk 3F0"
- I have tried resetting bios to defaults
- i have tried the F2 > run hard disk check , = Hard drive not installed ,check Cables
- & storage checked ,same thing
- I have re-seated the M.2
- i have check for derbies in the slot
- i have tried another M.2 from a older model
- i have tried re-seating the battery
The drive definitely works as i can boot another machine with the drive.
The laptop is less then a year old and similar problems happened to my last laptop, this is going to be the last time i buy from HP if this continues.
Any help is appreciated, Thank you.

hi
check
3F0 boot device not found error displays on a black screen in Windows 10
try
HP Consumer Notebook PCs - Boot Device Not Found (3F0) or Automatic Repair Errors
- Start or restart the computer.
- Press F10 repeatedly during start up to enter the BIOS configuration utility.
- Check Legacy Support and disable if it is enabled:
System Configuration > Boot Options > Legacy Support
or
Boot Options > legacy Support
etc

Thank you for your support ,But everything listed is what i have tried.
I tried again in case i mess something up but no change.
The bios aint even got a option to change anything like "System Configuration > Boot Options > Legacy Support"
Support is closed rn ,iv'e called them before and they just wanted me send it in for trouble shooting but i need this laptop.
any other ideas?

I do not have all the bios configuration ...
sometimes you have to turn off secure mode, to use legacy

If nothing can be done, the steps indicate that as a last resort, you must perform a recovery.
If possible, try to restart the boot with a Windows media
