some people had also this problem: Y580 msata problem - Lenovo Community

-> try a reset like here Why did my SSD "disappear" from my system? - Crucial Community

I decided to let the computer without the battery for 10min : the m4 was detected when I booted in the BIOS so I was able to perform the firmware update.

Now it's working flawlessly

But I really don't understand what happened ...

Thank you for your help !

Update :

I tried to flash the unlocked BIOS but unfortunately, as I already have the stock v2.07, the InsydeFlash utility keeps telling me that the BIOS i'm trying to flash is not a newer version ...

Do you know if I can do something ?

then update your firmware... Sold State Drive (SSD) Support

select on this page your product, the ''Crucial m4 mSATA SSD''

then scroll down to ''Firmware Update 07MH''

download the firmware ''Manual Boot File for Windows and Mac''

under the download button is a simple installation guide, step by step for updating the mSATA SSD in DOS.

*the update should also works if the BIOS doesn't recognise the ssd.

I already tried it when I read your first message but the DOS utility is unable to detect the SSD ...

I tried disabling the UEFI and using the SATA Compatibility mode but it's still not working ...

You're right : it's a Crucial m4 with the original firmware ...

The problem is that as the BIOS decided to not recognise it anymore, how am I going to update it ?

There is really no option to perform a bios update from DOS for the v2.07 version ?

Hi everyone

My Y580 doesn't recognise my mSATA SSD since this morning ...

I tried on an other computer and it's working perfectly so I'm pretty sure that this issue is BIOS related ^^

Yesterday I decided to get back from the unlocked version of the bios (2.06) to the stock 2.07 because I had no need of the advanced fonctions.

It worked well and I was able to use my computer all the night before turning it off.

So I thing the stock BIOS can't handle the mSATA SSD.

But, since i can't boot on windows anymore, I was wondering if it was possible to flash the 2.07 unlocked bios using the DOS flash tool ?

The only problem i see is that the 2.07 is a .rom file whereas the flash tool need a .bin file ...

Any help apreciated

Thank you !

Ok, I checked this morning by removing the wireless card : the bluetooth is still working !

So the only remaining problem for me is the wifi-whitelist ...

If it could be removed, it would be awsome

Do you really think that Lenovo could have created a special 2200N version with a broadcom chipset integrated ?

I'll try to remove the wifi card tomorrow just to be sure.

I don't have this problem on W8 RTM.

I don't think this is a good idea : there is already a bluetooth 4.0 broadcom chipset which is integrated (as the 2200n doesn't have bluetooth 4 ...).

So if you install a 6235, you'll have two bluetooth devices : the intel and the broadcom ...

A 6205 seems to be a better option for me

Unfortunately, according to this thread (Dual-band wifi card supported by Y580? - Lenovo Community), Lenovo decided to implement a whitelist ...

If you can remove it, it would be awsome

Great news

Thank you very much !

Do you think it will be possible to have a bios version that will remove the wifi-card whitelist system ?

I really need to install a dual band wifi card on my Y580 ...
