      @@truckericksdashcam169 1. After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. You may also have to clean it thoroughly at any liquid deposit points with a toothbrush and something like 70% isopropyl alcohol mixture.
      2. Assuming you have a Dell, have you tried the diagnostic test as seen here?

    You truly a life savior. I owned you so much. I changed my settings and it finally went to Windows repair. I ran the test and my hard drives shows green. So yeah windows 10 was the problem. Unfortunately I had to reset my laptop but I got to keep my personal files (which I'm quite happy about). You truly helped me. Im from a poor family and and having my second-hand laptop break down would cost me more than I truly could afford. :( now everything works fine.

    I want to say thank you soooo much, your video saved my life, so my Dell laptop got locked, and asked me for BitLocker key which I never used or installed, I couldnt not access any files or boot the system, many videos suggested to format the laptop and lose all my work, then someone suggested to go to Bios and restore factory boot settings, I did that, then restarting took me to ( Hard Drive Not Found), back to square one, I found your video and your first solution was check the date and correct it, I did that,,, and the laptop started, and first thing I did is open youtube and write a thank you letter

    For those who experienced their hard drive not found even after running the diagnostic test. The solution tht worked for me is change the boot sequence to legacy (follow the video) , after reboot if it shows the same error, change the boot sequence bck to UEFI (save & exit). This worked for me, hope it helps! If it helps, like the comment so others could see.

    Thank you very much for making this video. I had a problem with my old Dell desktop that was telling me that my battery was low. I change the battery on the motherboard and got errors when I tried to reboot. I found out later that by removing the battery or replacing the battery that the bios gets messed up. I went through a similar process that you described In your video to set my drive back to ‘Legacy’ from ‘RAID’ . I hope these comment will help someone else with the same problem.

    Thanks so much! Turns out, I had put a new CMOS battery in my laptop, and forgot that I needed to reset the date and time. I also had apparently enabled RAID mode for the hard drive for whatever reason, so I turned that off, and now it’s detecting my hard drive! Thanks for helping! ☺️👍

      @@PC_Monkey Hey! Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, now I have a different issue: Although the UEFI recognizes the drive, any OS installation USB that I try to use, whether that be Linux or Windows 11, doesn’t recognize the drive (this currently broken laptop IS Windows 11 compatible, I know this because I had an activated copy of Windows 11 on it for quite some time before it broke). On the Windows 11 installation USB, it says something like “Windows was unable to detect any hard drives. To install a driver so that Windows can be installed to it, select the ‘Load Driver’ option”. And in the Linux installation USB (the distro I’m trying to install is Linux Mint 21.2 with the MATE desktop environment), the drive (which should be labeled “sda”), does not appear. Instead, the install USB itself shows up, and THAT is labeled “sda” instead. No other drives are detected by the Linux installation USB. Is there a tutorial you could link me to, or a driver that needs to be installed during setup so that the OS can recognize the drive? For context, the machine I’m having trouble with is a Dell Inspiron 15 5570, with an Intel Core i3-8130U CPU that has Intel UHD 620 Integrated Graphics (this laptop does NOT have a Dedicated Graphics Card unfortunately), 4GB of DDR4 RAM, a CD/DVD compatible Optical drive, and a 128GB SATA SSD. Because my CPU is an 8th Generation one, all of the Intel Rapid Restore Technology and VMD drivers I’ve found through other people’s tutorials don’t work when trying to install Windows 11 and Linux Mint, since those drivers are only compatible with 11th generation through 13th generation Intel processors. Those drivers (as far as I can tell) are for if the SATA control mode is set to RAID in the UEFI, which I do not want to enable. I would like to keep my drive on AHCI mode. Are there drivers that are compatible with my CPU (Intel Core i3-8130U) and the AHCI storage drive mode that I can install during the setup process so that Windows 11 and/or Linux Mint can recognize my drive? I would also like to mention that I’ve tried these troubleshooting steps:
      1) Swapping out my 128GB SATA SSD with a 1TB SATA HDD that I have (which still works), and trying to install Windows 11 on there. The result: the Windows 11 install USB still didn’t detect the 1TB SATA HDD.
      2) Putting the aforementioned 1TB SATA HDD into my other laptop (which DOES work), installing Windows 11 onto that drive via the Windows 11 install USB, and then transferring the 1TB SATA HDD (that now has Windows 11 on it) BACK into the original laptop. The result: When I booted into the drive, Windows 11 gave me a Blue Screen error with the code “INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE”.
      3) With the 128GB SATA SSD transferred back into the still-broken laptop, I attempted to clear the PTT’s info several times and reset the Secure Boot keys multiple times via the UEFI, and then tried to install Windows 11 to the 128GB SATA SSD. The result: Windows 11 STILL didn’t recognize the drive.
      I’ve completed a full diagnostic test on the laptop via the Dell Diagnostics tool, and there are no errors to be found. Again, I ask, is there a tutorial or website that can help me install Windows 11 on my 128 SATA SSD that’s currently in my still-broken laptop? I’d greatly appreciate some help. My apologies for this humongous comment.

      By the way, I have gone ahead to switch from RAID to AHCI without any issue. I eventually reasoned that the BIOS stuff should be limited to BIOS. Your video really helped me with that, as I really considered some of the things mentioned. It made me to think that if for any reason the drive does not load, I could be able to simply switch back. I think I also heard something similar elsewhere.

      All BIOS setups are different. So the way I would change it on this computer would most likely not be the exact way you would change it on your computer. Sometimes it a drop down menu, a checkbox or other way. You would have to figure it out on your computer. You can see where it says Legacy? Can you see anything there to de-select it?
