What do I do if there isn’t a hard drive in there? It says it has a 36GB SSD eMMC Form Factor internal storage, but the HDD rack/mount is empty.
Thanks!
Okay………………after I perform the above steps, what happens? Power up and all is well? How much “HDD” space do I then have? There is no parts list. Will I need some sort of external drive? When I finish this, I would like to have at least 80G of storage space. More if possible. Please reply to <<n4ctf@hotmail.com>> Thanks to all
Opened the computer and found all of the above. I have a 500Gb SSD purchased from Crucial Memory. There is no way to connect this SSD as it stands now. Do I need to purchase some kind of adapter? Is there a connector to be soldered to the mother board? I upgraded the RAM to 8Gb. TREMENDOUS improvement. Even tried installing apps/programs to an external drive. It all worked OK but not that much of an increase in internal storage. I don’t need a bunch of statements. I need a solution or direct me to where I can obtain a fix. Thanks
For the unlucky users (like me) with the eMMC version, you can install a SATA drive only if you solder the missing components on the motherboard and buy the missing SATA cable. I found this article where they successfully added a HD, with the parts list. Only 4 capacitors and a connector is missing, but they are SMD ones, good soldering skills needed.
