I'm just throwing suggestions blindly, because things could go wrong in many ways if poking inside laptop case is involved.
Do you have another drive installed in this laptop in tray caddy, perhaps, or in second drive slot if it is available? How much RAM your laptop have? Does it all detected by BIOS\OS? It is possible you have damaged some passive parts around SATA connector during drive swap procedures. Inspect that location with magnifying glass for possible damage to small SMD elements and inspect SATA connector itself for possible cracks in solder joints. If everything is ok, it wouldn't hurt to insert and remove drive into SATA connector multiple times just to ensure all contact pads in connector have a good contact. Also show us SMART information for both SSD drives: $ sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
