Dell 14z-5423 cannot detect ssd but can detect hdd after replacing the motherland.

My laptop is Dell 14z 5423,because of liquid spill, i replace the motherboard.

But now the ssd part of disk cannot be detected (HDD is ok), and when enter bios setup, it shows that mSATA device is None.

Is it mean that the SSD part is broken? The original disk is a Hybrid drive containing 32GB SSD and 500GB HDD. or the motherboard is not suitable?

Thanks in advance.

DId you transfer over an mSATA drive from the old to the new board?  It's a small card about an inch square.  If not, you have a hybrid drive that has a built-in SSD -- it is not a separate mSATA drive at all, in which case of course, it will not show up in the system.

If you DID transfer over an mSATA drive, recheck to make sure it's  firmly seated in its socket.
