@projektaquarius Aftermarket SSD installed in place of old HDD, I guess it being thinner and lighter meant after getting moved around a lot it came loose...? Very strange.

@Crazed like did she install flash player while doing jumping jacks and/or spinning around rapidly?

@projektaquarius she knows little more than netflix and Facebook. She was good enough to turn it off and back on before bringing it to me, but that's the extent of her analysis.
I would imagine that it was "getting there" and a sudden shift, like getting up while holding it, caused it to barely disconnect from the power port. -
@Crazed got it. It just think it's weird. I thought (probably incorrectly) that they tried to keep SSDs the same size as, at least, laptop hdds.

@projektaquarius I imagine they are pretty close, but the case may be a mm or two off. Also, its a low end lenovo laptop, I think the old hdd probsbly had a screw holding it steady too that the ssd doesnt have, probably didnt expect anyone to swap lol
