MWichni Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intruder Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Specify which SSD and windows version. Any BIOS setting you might have changed? A bad soldering perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi the SSD is Adata premier pro 128GB 2242. System Windows 8.1 pro. I hadn't changed anything in bios. Soldering seems fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Here is how the soldering look like (it was hard to take a sharp picture). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intruder Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi the SSD is Adata premier pro 128GB 2242....That's important info. ADATA SP900 Premier Pro 2242 ssd's have a firmware issue. It won't work with Windows 8.1 and AHCI mode in BIOS. You can however use it with Windows 7. I don't remember all the details but a google search for "adata ssd y510p" will help.Bottom line, if you want to use it you'll have to install Windows 7.PS. Nice work with soldering!

MWichni Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I tried to start it up with other sata controller setting and bios still didn't noticed this disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arazvan2002 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It's a known fact, told about the adata support, that the ssd is not working on Y510P because of Device sleep function of the ssd it's not supported. Although you can install window7 with AHCI but the benchmarks are poor on writing. I'm waiting for a Integral SSD 128gb. I should receive it by 5th of May.Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's strange because Windows 8.1 doesn't see the disk, and BIOS also doesn't see this disk. This is normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arazvan2002 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Shutdown then press recovery button to.enter.in bios. If everything is OK, you should see it in BiosSent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Well unfortunately BIOS see only my 1TB sshd disk. SSD is not visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arazvan2002 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So the slot is not enough. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 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: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undu Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hi, I would like to solder my laptop too. Where did you buy connector? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi I bought that connector on tme.eu. I don't remember the height but it was probably this one: http://www.tme.eu/pl/details/123a-32ba0-r01/zlacza-do-kart/attend/ I'll check which one exactly it was and report back. Regards, Mariusz.

undu Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Thank you. Yeah I see that there are three height. From the picture for me it may be 3,2 mm. http://www.tme.eu/hu/Document/b04f63c963a5dbe80853bd183beca96d/123A-32BA0-R01.pdf i compare this with you photo, and the signs are the same (KEY B 3H) Edited April 24, 2017 by undu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi I found which one I exactly bought. It was this one: http://www.tme.eu/pl/details/123a-32ba0-r01/zlacza-do-kart/attend/# Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undu Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi! One of my friend did soldered the connector to the motherboard and the capacitors and jumpers. I have win 7 OS in AHCI mode, and neither the BIOS, nor the windows system see the SSD. Do you think that these soldering are enough? So the soldering is the problem or maybe it needs some settings in the BIOS? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWichni Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) For me it worked without any problem at all. Check the soldering, does the ssd get warm or maybe hot? I have used unlocked bios with ahci on. Regards. Edited June 30, 2017 by MWichni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darek Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi everybody, I have a question to MWichni. How did you find out where to put capacitors and jumpers? I'm going to mount M.2 connector to my notebook (ASUS TP200SA), which has only 32 GB of eMMC memory, but luckily has a place on motherboard where M.2 socket can be soldered (ASUS produced some TP200SA notebooks equiped with M.2 socket and SSD module). I wouldn't like to damage my notebook, so I'd appreciate any guidance (unfortunately ASUS didn't give me any support). I attache a picture of the part od motherboard where I will solder M.2 connector. This is type of M.2 connector mounted on the edge of the motherboard (so called "mid-plane" or "offset" connector), but generaly it's the same story as with standard mounted M.2 sockets.
