8MB bug but i tried the parted magic,mhdd,hdparm,dban

hi

the power cables of the PSU +- were touched by mistake and this made the ssd fail.

when booting in parted magic it shows as 8MB. I tried:

-firmware update from windows. it finds the ssd but the button for "Update firmware" can't be pressed. it's disabled.

-firmware update from linux using the usb boot. that doesn't work either. the ssd isn't found.

-hdparm putting password but it says "i/o error device not ready"

-with hdparm -I the linux displays a serial number with wierd ascii characters. it doesn't display "BAD..."

-with hdparm and other methods from here i tried hot swapping the cd drive and ssd after booting linux. the ssd isn't seen. i looked in all bios for a hot swap option but i din't find it.

-secure erase from with sleep. after sleep the ssd isn't visible at all so i can't do anything.

-removing the usb and cd drive before sleep

-hhderase in dos usb. no drives ar seen.

-mhdd in windows but it doesn't seem to be visible.. and when i select 1 I get an i/o error

-i was able to format it in other ways but it formatted only those 8MB

-dban as a last resort. i selected "quick erase". after 8 hours it displayed "success" and i tried again all the things above but it gives the exact same problems.

what should i do?
