Solved! Laptop wont start

[David-sg1]

Have just got a M2 2280 ssd for my Iota flo laptop, but it wont start up after i have installed the drive, but it will start up when the drive was removed,

ok. sound like it is not compatible

 

[David-sg1]

It has a bay on the back of it for the drive and I checked the pin setup before getting the drive.

 

[rgd1101]

full spec of this m.2 or brand and model?
brand and model of this laptop?

M2 2280 Samsung 1TB laptop is the Iota flow 360

built-in M.2 2280 SATA bay

that samsung 980 pro is nvme, not SATA

so should it look more like this, https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pYSYepqCL._AC_SL1500_.jpg, if that's the case then the pin set up doesn't match.

upload to imgur.com and post the link here.

you mistaked key with the slot. B & M key work in B slot or M slot.
but your tablet only build for taking SATA m.2

and my guess is you put the 980 pro upside down. since it is a M key(x4) not B(x2)
