Hello all, I have a strange issue with my Lenovo Thinkpad X230 Laptop. The hard drive will sometimes recognize and will sometimes not. I bought a new hard drive and it recognized once and then the problem would sometimes happen and it sometimes wouldn't. Both hard drives are known-working and they have worked on other PCs. The hard drive slot on this laptop is one on the side and you slide the hard drive in. I theorized that maybe the hard drives were getting loose while in the slot so I applied electrical tape around the sides of the hard drive and it kept it in place but the problem sometimes still persisted. A Skype contact of mine (who works in a data center) said that the problem might be the connection to the motherboard itself and that I would have to take the whole laptop apart and solder something (which I don't know how to do.) I was hoping someone here would be able to recognize what the actual problem is and maybe someone has experienced something similar.
Thank you and best wishes!
