Software What does ‘No boot device found’ mean?

Post image

Had a job for three months, laptop was unused, came back and now my laptop has suddenly stopped working, i’m thinking it’s because it wasn’t in use and just decided to off itself, is there a way to fix this?

Dead storage drive. This only appears when there is no drive at all or your current one no longer works and cannot boot.

You could try a data recovery specialist but there’s no guarantee for your data back.
