Hi guys I soldered m.2 slot as my y510p didn't have one. I installed ssd drive but my bios and system does not see it. Is it only bios (I have stock rev. 3.07 locked) related issue, or could it by something else I need to do to get my ssd to work?

I ripped out the old HDD, installed Ubuntu on the mSata drive and that has not crashed! I got conky set up and GPU and CPU temperatures went up to 60C but the fan just spooled up and there was no crash. Previously it would crash within 30mins of login, now it stayed up for over an hour before I logged out. I am thinking of taking it in to a professional laptop repair shop to have the heatsinks, fans checked out and just to be sure get the CPU and GPU repasted again.

Hi guys. It took me a while but I managed to get the thing working. Under the connector there are 8 smd parts that need to be installed. Four of them are capacitors for AC coupling sata singals, value of the capacitors are 10nF, the other four are jumpers. I've got only picture of capacitors installed by me, I made jumpers out of thin single core copper wire. Here are some pictures:
