Intel SSD not recognised by Linux and UEFI (replacement drive)

Hi,

I have the same problem than my previous thread, this time with the replacement drive : Intel SSD not recognised by Linux and UEFI

Here is the summary for reference :

I used the SSD for several months as a boot drive and now it's not recognised as an UEFI boot drive and I can't see it in a live USB. But I don't have another system to test it.

 

Booting from a live USB does not recognise the SSD. This eventually gives the error: "nvme nvme0 identify controller failed (-4)". 'fdisk -l' does not show the SSD. The SSD is connected directly to the motherboard, was working before, and is:

Intel 600p 128GB 80mm PCIE 3.0 X4 M.2 SSD.

 

Motherboard is a SuperMicro A2SDi-4C-HLN4F.

 

Is there anything I can do to use it again? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
