What's going on here? A week or so ago this showed up and haven't been able to turn on my laptop since. Some hardware issue?

I think this might be the wrong community for this. Where else could I post this?

Idk any tech support communities, but you should try booting into BIOS to see if your storage drive is detected. If not, it probably failed (read: it's dead, fam)

You could try to see if you can reinstall the OS but if the BIOS doesn't detect the drive, I doubt the OS setup will.

While the data loss will suck, a new drive isn't very expensive. Plus if you're still on a HDD, it would be a good time to replace it with an SSD.

This seems like a good community for it, as the other commenter said your boot drive is likely dead.
