M.2 SSD Locked in read only ?

Dear all,

First time that I see that:

- Win10 (pre-installed) never reach login screen (the circle with dot keeps running)
- Impossible to enter safe Mode

Now it starts geeting weird:

- I try to boot an USB Key with Win10 image, same problem !
- I try to boot an USB Key with linux (from https://www.system-rescue.org/).

Good I'm able to access in read-only Windows partition, I backup the data.

Now I try to fdisk, delete all partition and write the partition table. No error, but if I fdisk again all partition are still there?!

Let's try a smartctl -t long -a /dev/sda, no specific error, lifetime 668hours...

MODEL: INTEL SSDSCKKF256H6

Serial: CVLY65060JES256J

Firmware: LBFD07N

The only thing that I found is that this SSD could have locked itself in read-only mode.

Is it the case ? how can I return to a normal operation mode then ? (please note that I can't access any windows anymore, only Linux accept to boot).

Thanks !
