It happens sometimes that, suddenly, A SSD spoils without apparent reason: The computer does not recognize it. If you have a dead SSD, you can resurrect it with The energy cycle method which has been successfully tested on innumerable occasions. I explain how it works.
A SSD can be spoiled for several causes: An electrical failure, a failure when updating the firmware, or a blue Windows death screen. You will discover it because The PC does not recognize it. Not even the Windows disc manager.
The energy cycle method has recovered many broken SSDsas explained by computer engineer Dave Farquhar in his blog. He has risen a few, so it is effective. And best of all, it is easy to apply and free. It is used for standard SSD, NVME or M.2.
What is the energy cycle that resurrects SSD spoiled
Keep in mind that this method is indicated to SSD who have died because of an energy failure. It is not suitable for one that has failed by a bad firmware update, or a Windows failure.
In any case, there are times that you do not know why a SSD does not work, or even if you know, to try the Energy cycle method You don’t lose anything.
This trick is applied in two different ways, as you can disconnect the SSD data cable or not.
If you have access to the SSD and connect using a SATA cable, you will see that there are two cables: the data, and the current. The longest are usually the current.
Turn off the computer, remove the SSD, and connect it to the PC only with the current cable. Not the data. Take a clock to control the times.
Light the computer and leave it on exactly 30 minutes. Fulfill the time, bring it off, leave it off 30 seconds, and turn it on another 30 minutes. Turn off, wait 30 seconds, and turn it on. In total, 61 minutes.
Even if you don’t find logic, The SSD energy cycle trick has been successfully applied many people. There is no guarantee, but you don’t lose anything to try.
And what happens if you can’t access SSD, or is it a m.2 or a NVME, which have no cables? In this case, the method is different.
Turn on the computer with the SSD connected and, at the start, access the BIOS playing the Supr key, F12, or the one used by your computer.
Leave the PC on the BIOS screen for 30 minutes. Display it, wait 30 seconds, and turn it on again. Enter the bios, leave it, another 30 minutes, turn off, wait 30 seconds, and start normally.
It is possible that, due to the failure, some data have been lost, or you have to repair the album in Windows. But he SSD will have returned to lifeand you can use it normally. Luck!
