So, a SSD just dieded on me, the root and home partition was on it. The computer froze and after a cold boot the BIOS doesn't find the disk anymore. I opened up the casing but couldn't see anything suspicious to the naked eye.
If the disk is not visible anymore, no tool can help you, it is likely a hardware problem. Have another look at the part of the circuit related to the external power, that is the place where things can blow up. Something that may be tried is to have the SSD in a freezer for a few hours and immediately try it again while still very cold. The concept is that any half broken soldering may make contact again thanks to thermal shrinking of the components. You should be careful to avoid condensation on the cold part, but, well, there is not much to lose anyway. Another "fix lost electrical contact" trick is trying different positions of the drive and a bit of shaking or tapping. But if something has been damaged, you need a deep investigation of the hardware, with tools and knowledge that is not available to everyone. That is, something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_oBQ2UFZSU (SMD (de)soldering, thermal camera, ...)
