You are seeing the Lenovo logo because that is generated by the system's firmware, known as the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) This is part of the Power-On Self-Test (POST) process, which checks basic hardware functionality. If the system fails to proceed past the logo screen, it could indicate that the BIOS/UEFI cannot locate or access the bootable operating system. This is often due to: If the drive has failed then the BIOS won't find the necessary files to load the OS. Even if the SSD is operational, bootloader corruption could cause the same issue. Misconfigured boot order or settings in the BIOS/UEFI might prevent booting. Diagnosing SSD Failure: To confirm whether the SSD is the problem: Enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, DEL, or ESC during startup). Check if the SSD is detected in the storage or boot section. Run any available diagnostics tools in the BIOS. If the SSD isn't recognized, it's likely failed or has a loose connection. Alternatively, you can boot the system using a live USB or external OS to verify SSD accessibility. -
