hello,
I was thinking that the hard drive was dead, so I connected it to my laptop via USB to SATA adapter. It was fine and passed a diagnostic test.
Then I noticed that the optical drive wasn't being seen either by the BIOS. I tried different SATA ports and even tried powering the drive via external power to bypass the power supply.
Tried setting the BIOS to defaults. No change.
I've never seen a motherboard fail in that way, with only the SATA ports not working.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
