What’s going on here? A week or so ago this showed up and haven’t been able to turn on my laptop since. Some hardware issue?

      Idk any tech support communities, but you should try booting into BIOS to see if your storage drive is detected. If not, it probably failed (read: it’s dead, fam)

      You could try to see if you can reinstall the OS but if the BIOS doesn’t detect the drive, I doubt the OS setup will.

      While the data loss will suck, a new drive isn’t very expensive. Plus if you’re still on a HDD, it would be a good time to replace it with an SSD.

      This seems like a good community for it, as the other commenter said your boot drive is likely dead.
