I would like some suggestions on what SSD I should buy to replace the broken one, the piece ( L29690-001 ) is unavailable for purchase on the HP website in the "Parts Store" section

For more context I have a HP Pavilion Laptop -  15-cw1007na

The product specs indicate that your notebook came with a 256 GB NVMe SSD.

You should be able to install any brand NVMe SSD you want.

If you want to install around the same capacity drive, look into one of these:

WD_BLUE SN570 250GB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 NVMe up to 3300 MB/s read speed : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & A...

Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8 : Amazon.co.uk: Comp...

If you want to install a larger capacity drive such as 500 GB, that would be fine too.

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the SSD removal and replacement procedure.

You can use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall Windows, the drivers and the software that originally came with your PC.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.
