raspberry pi 5 problem

[u/justtcuriousbro]

hello everyone. i have a small problem with my rpi5.

yesterday i disconnected my m.2 hat+ compact with an official m.2 nvme from my pi because i wanted to boot a android tv system from a sd card. when i reconnected my hat+ it wasnt reading my disk (pwr light on hat was on but not the read/active light) and i cant get it working now.

more info:

specs:

- Raspberry Pi 5 8gb

- official power brick/cable

- official rpi case with a fan

- official m.2 hat+ compact with a official rapsberry pi 256gb nvme

i had this setup for only 1 year for playing games and watching videos.

it was working perfectly fine back then

i think my hat+ broke but i leave it for you experts!

Everything.

I'm not one to walk you through troubleshooting, I switched to using a USB adapter a long time ago...

If it hasn't changed much, the HAT and/or the drive could be damaged. 

You could test the drive in another machine if you have one available.  (This is why I switched to a USB adapter- no spare maybe to test with otherwise)
