# Tensorbook 2021 replacing nVME

## post by aks on Oct 15, 2024

The main nVME file system was badly damaged, somehow, and I may have to replace the SSD.

1. Which tool would you recommend to check the remaining life on the nVME SSD, if any ?

2. Where can I find instruction for replacing (Manual, video, etc)?

3. Do I still have any guaranty ? (Bought jun 2022)

I don’t want to send it back, though.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I checked with smartctl and it still has 100% spare and only 4% usage. No error logged.

So, I don’t know what caused massive file system problem (swap? gone, logs gone and so on).

I copied recovery iso on USB HDD with Ventoy, and installed 22.04 on the 2nd nVME SSD, which is like new.
