Long story short, this laptop will not recognize it's hard drive or it's optical drive. The hard drive works just fine in another similar laptop. I've also tried loading the bios defaults to no avail. I'm assuming at this point that the sata controller has gone bad.
So, the question is short and sweet. Is it possible that this is something that can be replaced without replacing the whole motherboard? Or should I salvage what I can out of it and toss the rest? If there's a chance there's some sort of bios/software fix that I haven't tried yet I'd love to know about it, thanks!
