I am having an issue with this lenovo thinkpad carbon x1, It's about 3 months old. With normal use, It all of the sudden goes into a black screen saying 2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD) Press Esc to continue. The first time that it kept doing this, I just replaced the SSD it had with a new one since for some reason I wasnt able to boot it up. After I replaced it with a new one, It worked for some time, then all of the sudden i get the exact same screen again. Does anybody know what this error could be? when i press Esc, It takes me to another screen where it shows the hard drives and the only one that appears is my external HDD. I did a memory test and it passed so i doubt it could be RAM related. please help
I'm having this problem as well; on a T520. Similar to the OP -- SSD (Samsung 840 EVO), error message is unique to the machine (drive works fine in other machines, reports no errors, other SSDs now fail in this machine). Additionally, the drive is still usable, just not by the BIOS for some reason, as it works just fine when the machine is booted from both a Linux CD and a Windows Recovery CD. It's certainly an issue with the computer and not the drive. – Jason C – 2014-07-04T00:53:05.457
1Yes I figured out what happened. The motherboard was defective and there was something that caused a short which just shut off the motherboard. after so many shutdowns it just fried my SSD. I contacted Lenovo since it still had warranty and they replaced the motherboard, all runs good now. – Beatle – 2014-07-07T19:03:53.723
Thanks for posting that! After reading that and a few other things (and my warranty is long expired) I think I'm about due for a new laptop; especially if there's a risk of damaging the drive, which is almost brand new (and the 1TB 840 EVO wasn't cheap either). – Jason C – 2014-07-07T19:33:05.143
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the problem no longer exists. – fixer1234 – 2015-10-04T04:25:40.163
