Hello. I've Samsung NVMe drive PM591 (MZ-VLW5120 ) . It comes from Lenovo X1 Carbon (5th gen). Last time my notebook gets down to floor. After that it stop working (I suppose it's mainboard issue). However, I remove NVMe disk from it and try to use in new Lenovo Carbon. Once I power up I got error 2100: Detection error on Storage Device (M.2 ) . So it looks like NVMe gets faulty or something. I try to read NVMe in external M.2 -> USB adaptor but it is not recognized. Is there anything else that I can do (such safe mode things etc) to try to get it works? Please for help. Thanks, Greg |

You need an adapter/enclosure that has a USB-NVMe bridge, not USB-SATA. http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=2853 |

Can you upload detailed photos of each side of the Tracer PCB and Samsung PCB? |

I would measure the following voltages on the SSD: Test are made on NVMe -> USB adapter v1 (inductor) - 1.835 V V2 - 1.084V V3 - 1.79V v4 (inductor) - 1.084 V V5 - 1.249 V vboost - 12.02V, after some seconds it start going down to 0.3 v and then gets down to 0.20v |

ISTM that the supply voltages are probably OK. It may be that the SSD has a "firmware fault". Otherwise, I would check the crystal, just in case it was shattered by the fall. |

Thanks for answer. Is there any possibility to repair firmware on that NVMe? What you mean by "crystal" ? |

This looks like the crystal: Attachment: crystal.jpg [ 16.3 KiB | Viewed 14127 times ] The crystal is cut from quartz which can be shattered by a sharp impact. Often you can hear the shards rattling inside the metal case. AFAIK, there is currently only one [very expensive] professional tool that can deal with NVMe SSDs at the firmware level. In any case I believe recent Samsung SSDs have not yet been reverse engineered (due to encryption). |
