Failed SSD drive (after 6 month low activity) and no response from support
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2021 12:47 pm
Hi,
We purchased an AK2 via Amazon in mid March and a couple weeks ago the SSD drive failed. All but two weeks of that time the unit was in pre-production, either running idly or off awaiting time to complete the configuration. The two weeks it was running in production it was just paging through 4 webpages as a wallboard PC, so very little activity.
Current Symptoms/Behavior are as follows:
1. System will not boot into Windows 10
2. Drive not detected in BIOS
3. Tried uninstall (and bleed power out of components) and reseat of SSD drive (no visible sign of any damaged components)
4. Downloaded the system reinstall file and ran in onto unit
a. “Diskpart succeeded in cleaning the disk”
b. Long pause/delay in output
c. “Diskpart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O Device error. See the System Event log for more information.”
It took me a week to find the purchase info (Purchaser was on vacation) but I emailed support last Monday and I still have no response. Are we left high and dry on this or are these units in fact supported (hardware-wise)?
Thanks in advance for any response
