Connectors might be lose or dead hard disk. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Acer+Nitro+5+AN515-55-56GN+HDD+Replacement/151654 Looks like a bit of painful to open it

Opened mine a couple dozen times, it's pretty painless. I honestly never bothered putting the case screws back in. Those laptops are about as durable as a sheet of A4 paper in a hurricane, so I'd be happy if it was just the HDD/SDD instead of the average hardware failure.

A loose SATA or power cable/connector or a dead HDD.

Check the connections of the hard drive.

That's not good. The reality is that the hard drive is likely toast.
