Theory: SSD gold wasn’t soldered properly; you lift to remove which flexes the board under the SSD pins causing the gold to detach from the SSD board.

Did it just eat the contacts?

Damn when last time you feed it to be that hungry.
But yeah that crazy.

question here how does he remove it without ruin his mother board . sure he can get refund for SSD if its brand new

Beginner’s mistake. You are actually supposed to feed your motherboard daily, or it’ll start eating your components

If this was under warranty i’d try starting the process with the vendor.
If it’s still within a return window i’d just return it… but that would be way too convenient.

I have seen this before, but it is generally due to poor QC control on the drive pins.

The PCB of the nvme is at fault.

Motherboard brand name checks out. It certainly bit your gig.

And this is how m.sata drives are made

cold fusion?
(for anyone not familiar this is a 100% real thing that can happen to certain materials. its why thread galling is an issue with aluminum and stainless threads, basically the two materials are either in a vacuum where an oxide layer wont form or their oxide layer is scraped off and the materials molecularly bond to the point they are fused together)

Killed two components in one fell swoop, ouch. Guessing you only have one Gen5 too.
When you RMA/return the NVMe, I’d just say it doesn’t work and that it came like that, don’t complicate things. Maybe they misapplied the pins?

I’m not gonna judge you but it looks like user error

My friend did this but he didn’t realize the m2 pulls up and out at an angle. He was trying to pull it straight horizontal

I bet you didn’t get any scratches during this build, did you? If your mobo doesn’t get its blood sacrifice then it feeds in other ways.

If the SSD is new I’d say manufacturing error. If this is an old one transferred to the new board, it might be age and long term heat de-soldered it.
