FAQ’s:
Q: What are the buttons you press?

Q: What if my diagnostic test shows the HDD as ‘Not Installed/”?
A: If the diagnostic test wont detect the HDD, it bay be either loose or bad. I would ‘Reseat’ the HDD as seen here in this updated video: https://youtu.be/yMcwOaocs-k. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced.
