So I upgraded an old laptop with an ssd about a year ago and subsequently transferred the files that I backed up from the HDD, but a year later, the laptop shows the 3F0 error and refuses to go in BIOS setup.
I opened it up and checked the connection between the ssd and the mobo. Then I used f2 to diagnose and the hard disk quick test came to both checks (including dst). Still I can't get into the laptop, I've also tried to recover the BIOS using the Win+B method but the recovery files can't be found in my laptop.
What can I do? Is my laptop gone for good? What might be the issue here?
PS, the laptop in question is the HP-15-bg004au

One thing you can do if you have a working PC, remove the SSD from the laptop and connect it to the PC. Then run CHKDSK on the partitions on the SSD. You will have to Google online to see the command parms if you have not done this before.
If that comes back with errors found, it will try to fix them. so then, run it again. It should then say that no errors were found in the filesystem.
Then, put it back into the laptop and reboot. It should work now.
