Inspiron 15 Hard Drive Error
On startup, the Dell Logo shows up for a couple of seconds, but then it disappears and is followed by:
Secure Boot Violation: "Invalid Signature Detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup".
Once I hit enter, I have the error:
"Internal hard disk drive not found, to resolve this issue, try and reseat the drive".
I am not able to start up my laptop at all without this showing up. I completed the diagnostic using F12, and it gives me the error code 2000-0142 with the validation of 117628. This only started happening after I partially took apart my laptop to clean it in hopes of getting better performance on it, but the laptop is around 5 years old.
