Hi, you've added a new SATA SSD on top of your existing M.2 SSD, but the system powers on yet the monitor shows no signal. You suspect the computer is using the new SATA without the operating system, which prevents accessing BIOS settings to switch back to the M.2 SSD with its OS. What steps should you take next?
Check if removing the SATA drive restores normal operation. Your system uses a specific CPU and motherboard model. The SATA port likely shares its bandwidth with the M.2 slot.
If you turned off the SATA drive, it may not start because the system can't access its data or power properly.
Checking for any POST codes, LED signals, or speaker sounds. Observe what occurs when attempting to power up the system—do fans start and lights illuminate?
