Turning on laptop and boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, Hard disk (3F0) is coming up.
I run quick check in hard drive check and get a message saying no hard drive installed. Please check that the power and data cables are connected properly.
I then run extensive check in hard drive check and get the same message.
It has an SSD
Please help

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
- Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
- Have you made any hardware/software changes?
I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. This sounds like a hardware related issue as you've performed a relevant test on Hard Drive.

It didn’t this happen after a recent window or software update and I hadn't made any hardware/software changes.
I will try and get in touch with the support engineers, but I have been struggling to get in touch with them.

thank you for posting back.
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).\
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
