You can try, but I doubt it very much - time to send it back for repair

Ha , done some research and found that its a common thing to happen .

I need to try and re flow one of the big chips on the mobo .

I have also found out that if I put pressure on the mouse board while starting up , it fixes it .

It depends, if this is for the NX8220 then the model comes with caddy and an adapter for the drive.

Yo, looking like you would need an adapter to the hard drive, or maybe not - try first with a sata drive and see. Got a used drive lying around?

cheers...
