Does anyone have the ability, or know anyone... who can restore a broken NVME/M.2 SSD to working condition?
I lost a lot of personal data, and a lot of memories with it. :(

I don't expect it for free. I can offer art, as well as money once my finances improve.


The computer does not detect it as a boot option in the bios.
When it's inserted into a motherboard, it causes the splash screen to hang for a very long time before it goes back to the BIOS again.
I had it tested at best buy, and they said it does not show up on their caddy/enclosure device. I do not know if they used linux.

I ordered an enclosure from amazon to test it further this week.


EDIT:

SIGH OF RELIEF.

I realized that I moved those files from the old hard drive to the (now) dead one.....
So I ran a data recovery program on that OLD drive...

And now I have recovered the overwhelming majority of those precious memories. ;-;

Now it is "Acceptable losses."

I'm still pissed that I lost a year of art files and lost a good chunk of progress on my assorted projects... but it was the personal/precious/memories that I was really grieving over, and now that I have almost all of them back, I feel better. Just.... emotionally exhausted.

Now I can approach this with a more rational state of mind.

Thank you all for your information/advice!
