HP Pavilion dv6 "Hard drive not exist"

[Pokeblue]

Hello,

I have an HP laptop (model listed above) that doesn't seem to want to detect a hard drive. I have the correct cable, (the cable separates from the board) and I have tried several. Any operating system installer or diagnostic program I use (any form of Linux, DOS, Windows 7/8/10, etc.) do not detect any drives despite there being one connected. I have also tried all of my hard drives, even a few SSDs. I have no idea if it might be an issue with the motherboard, (ID: 358D)  all of the 3 cables I've used, or all of the literal tens of drives I've plugged in, ran the diagnostic, and sighed in frustration seeing the "Error: Hard drive not exist". No, that's not a typo, either. they shortened it.
