My 😧 drive is missing from both file explorer and disk management as you can see in the screenshots below.  It does not even appear as unallocated in disk management. My C: drive is an internal SSD and my 😧 drive is an internal HDD.

I opened up my laptop to have a look at it and the cable connecting the drive to the motherboard appears to be slightly insecure. Could this be causing the issue?

Hi:

 

Yes, that could be a problem.

 

Does the 2.5" drive show up in the BIOS?

 

If not then it is most likely a hardware problem, such as you indicated.
