asus rog gl753ve m.2 type 2280 issue
I have an Asus ROG GL753VE laptop. It has 2 hard drives. An m2 slot with a SanDisk SSD z400s m.2 2280 128 GB, and a 1tb spinner HDD. I need more space on the c drive, so I picked out a crucial m.2 that shows as compatible. Crucial MX500 500GB M.2 Type 2280 Internal SSD Upgrade for: ASUS ROG GL753VE Crucial part number: CT11445517
When I install it, the laptop will not boot...no power no nothing. I look at the front lights and the power indicator comes on for about 1 second then goes out. I swap the old m.2 and it fires right up. I swapped them out 5 times...same results. I choose the 100% compatible with crucial so I wouldn't have these issues. Any ideas? Maybe I can return the Crucial SSD, and remove the existing SanDisk m.2 SSD, and replace the 2.5 spinner with a 2.5 Samsung SSD so I can have that space. I don't know why Asus would but in such a small m.2 SSD and have all the space on a spinner drive for data.
