Ya, i'm coming to the conclusion that it's beyond me and needs professional help. Tried the external enclosure and got nothing as well.
Yeah, sorry, it sounds like something in the interface or read/write control on the SSD has died. It could be something as simple as a capacitor, or it could be a controller chip. The data is probably still present in the actual storage, but I'm not sure how you would get to it without doing a lot of testing and then desoldering/resoldering components.
I do know a potentially better place to ask for advice if you want to dig into it more - the forum at grc.com:

Steve Gibson produces SpinRite, which is a hard drive test & repair application (probably the best out there) and there's a lot of drive-related discussion on the forum and several other members with expertise. Someone there might have a better idea of what kind of recovery options are possible.
