Create a live Linux USB stick and see if the Ubook X still works so far. If so, the SSS is most likely defective. But this can be fixed quickly. Just buy a Western Digital WD Green SATA SSD 240GB for under 30€. 500GB start at about 40€. You only have to look for M.2 SATA, not M.2 PCIe NVMe! You can change the SSD yourself. How you can open the UBook X, I have already shown here in the forum. > [@How to change battery?](https://forum.chuwi.com/t/how-to-change-battery/24736/4): > > Unfortunately, the photo is a bit bad. Could it be that only a plastic cap was pressed into the hole here, thus “hiding” the screws. See if Dumdie can reel it out with a needle. Otherwise, the case looks like the Ubook X. You don’t have to heat anything. The housing is only clipped. If you can’t find any screws at the bottom, I would carefully start opening the case. I would start at the top. The housings are all constructed similarly. Here is a video H13, which is almost the same.

You’d better take a look at the old SSD beforehand. If you google the type designation, you’ll find out whether you need a PCIe or SATA SSD. If you have a normal UBook X, then it is an M.2 SATA in any case. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.chuwi.com/t/ubook-x-pro-2022-catastrophic-ssd-failure/34691)._
