Power on only comes up with that Setup Notice.
Then Insert Recovery Media and press any key.
Then select Boot Manager to choose a new Boot Device or to boot to Recovery Media. <ESC> gives: “No bootable Device. Please restart system.”
I assume the hard drive is ‘broken’.

It does use a blade SSD. Go here to find available replacement sticks.

Meanwhile see if you can boot from an external source if you have it.

I usually prefer Samsung or Intel SSDs when this occurs, but the "suicide bit" on the Intel SSD firmware is a deterrent for less savvy uses IMO. 512GB is cheap enough it's worth the extra cost now if you need it.
I took the pc to our local computer store and I reckon they must have used a recovery boot process to discover the hard disk was OK, but a startup boot file was corrupt.
It's being fixed for $150. Pickup this afternoon. Better than $300 quoted for replacement HDD etc.
