Yeah. I asked about the soldering because I have the tools and skills necessary. I just didn't know if the solder would stick or not. It would be harder without a hot air rework station though. I'm not getting any thing to pop up in file explorer through the USB so I think I'll have to try to...

Would solder adhere to the pins? Even with the M.2 to USB I'm not making any progress unfortunately.

This is an excellent, very detailed and in-depth guide for people that use PCs. I thank you.

Conductive pens, interesting. Which one do you think would be the best for this? There's a lot out there.

This is making more sense now. I didn't notice they were that bad. I thought some were missing because one side had one more than the other but I see not now. To answer your questions Shiousky, It's my brother's original laptop but he is a computer builder and electrical engineer so I don't...

This SSD has always given me problems. For two months it would lose connection for a split second and cause my laptop to Blue Screen of Death. I think it may be the pins. I don't know much about M.2 so I don't know what the pins are supposed to look like. I think on the small part there may be...

Good. Thanks for wasting everybody's time with a completely unrelated topic and your unnecessary rudeness though No escaping from the forum trolls it seems.

Actually I'd waste everyone's time BY posting them. What you comprehended as an "unnecessary remark" was actually me stating that I've gotten every error code there is, therefore there isn't "the stop code" and posting them would be useless. Yeah, I mean I did mention electrical contact in the...

Yes I know the stop code. AKA, I've gotten every single one there is ;)

Thank you very much! That's what I thought too, that it just physically holds it in place and that's it. The holder was lined with foil so that's what threw me off. I guess I can move on to the next stage of troubleshooting this. As for your question, for a while the laptop would BSOD a few...

Thanks Darren. Ok it seems as though my question was a bit misunderstood. Yes, the M.2 has the main pins which go into the slot at an angle and then the screw holds it down. What I want to know is, does the screw also make or need to make electrical contact in any way. I'm trying to...

So it does, in fact, need to make a connection to the screw for contact? I've included a picture of the area I'm talking about. Yeah lol, the guy said he "had no experience with M.2"

Trying to troubleshoot a bad SSD connection but I know nothing about M.2 Does the end with the screw need to make any kind of electrical contact to work? Asked on Dell.com and no one responded Asked Best Buy Geek Squad and they don't know anything about M.2 Lmao
