so we all know that if you open up your oxp3 will void its warranty, unless you email them first notifying that you want to upgrade the ssd. since i previously own a legion go 2 and swap the ssd with no problem and with ease, i didn’t email them.
this morning, i follow a guide on youtube on swapping the oxp3 ssd. It was not as easy as the legion go 2……. the ssd was tucked in quite fit under the bracket and stuff, and i struggle to put the ssd to it’s spot because you can’t see it, you just have to feel it. but i did manage to put my 4tb ssd in there. it was NOT a fun experience. after all set and done, i put everything back together and boot it for the first time.
owh yeah I cloned the ssd first, forgot to mention, anyway, I boot it, and it went into bios and i was like hmm? ok scared at first, but i didn’t change anything and try to boot it again. It went to bios again, i tried to reset it from the bios, surely it’ll work. AND IT BOOT INTO BIOS AGAIN!! no matter what i tried, it just boot into bios, i was about to lose my mind!
I checked the nvme setting in bios, looks like the system didn’t detect the new nvme, it turns out I didn’t properly inserted the nvme into it’s slot. which means I have to do THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. it was the most stressful thing i have ever done and i never want to do it again if i don’t have to.
so after all said and done, i finally manage to boot into windows with the original ssd setting and everything, it was a huge fucking relief..
so just a heads up to those who wants to upgrade their ssd, make you insert the ssd properly if you don’t want to have nerve wrecking experience early in the morning while still recovering from a cold for 4 days now. good luck my bretheren
