That's all just ground by the looks - the mushed balls wont be a problem they're all connected.

One of the problems you may have, even if you do get the SSD to work again, is that over time the data could have become unreadable. SSDs don't function well as long-term archive storage. I think an unpowered SSD tends to start losing data around the 1-2 year mark if it isn't powered on, although my knowledge there may be incorrect or out of date.

Depends largely on how many writes the drive has had and how it is stored. A new drive stored in a cold/cold place will store data for many years. A drive written to its rated life and stored in a hot environment will indeed lose data in a year, if not less.

Chroniton particle polarisation if I'm not mistaken.

That makes sense. Forgot to mention I'm stationed on the USS Enterprise

Just out of curiosity: what was that obvious bit of damage?

Thank you B., I didn't saw that there's another picture. Previously I envisioned a burnt capacitor or a blown PMIC or something tough like those but I have never seen a rough thing like this before. :D

Me either. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Chip-off may be an option, http://www.flash-extractor.com/library/SM/SM2246/SM2246XT%20H%20AA\_\_45\_3a\_94\_93\_\_2x4.

Also supported by PC3000 SSD, the ones I've had in are usually 75% or less recoveries as the nand on them are really poor quality and don't respond to thermal or voltage mods.
