Paul -
This exact thing happened to my Dell laptop. One day the BIOS simply
would not recognize the SSD. Getting a new SSD fixed the problem. Alas,
the data was not with us any longer.

I will report back on what I find out.

Paul,
You might try an adapter to check it in another computer. I use an
external SATA-to-USB cable when doing things like checking drives on
my Linux PC. You can get one of these adapters from Amazon for $6.35
+ $2 ship to adapt the Dell form factor to SATA:

My laptop crashed. It says no hard drive detected. This is a
Dell Inspiron 7370 laptop with an internal SSD.
Sata M.2 256GB. Here is a listing on Ebay for a used one:

Does anyone have one of these (or compatible form factor) that I
could try putting into my machine to try
to determine if it is the drive or the motherboard that has
failed? Any other ideas?
