I can't offer much but have found an article you might find useful - is it SSD or mechanical? If the latter, does it spin up? This (for mechanical drives) is quite detailed and might be useful for info (more perhaps from the section "Recover Your Data with Hardware" onwards)http://www.lifehacker.co.uk/2013/02/07/recover-data-hard-drive-goes-belly Presumably SSD controller boards can be replaced too if necessary... would be interested to hear how you get on.
