(SOLVED) Dell XPS 13 (Skylake) NVME Samsung issue

Hello,

I bought /subj/ to use it with Linux, however I have issues with nvme device - it disappearing from time to time. I sent it to repair and they said that they replaced SSD drive, however the problem continues (but it's rate drastically decreased).
Can it be a software issue? I don't know what to tell repairman next time, thay can tell to install windows or something like that.

I opened backcover and SSD sits firm and additionally fixed with screw from the opposite end.

This laptop has developer version with Ubuntu with the same ssmsung stuff, so, technically, it seems to be compatible.

I have an XPS 15 9550 with a Samsung 950 Pro and I never had any issues. Is yours the PM951?

I've made additional tests and sent it to repair ones more. Definitely hardware issue like micro crack in mobo.
