Have you considered reflowing the chips, especially the NAND ones?

No considering delicate electronics & pcb , actually SSD is getting detected as 1 GB.Do you think Heating Nand with hot air might work?
Thanks for suggestion.

Might. As it isn't able to load firmware from NAND (the 1 GB capacity is typical), one option is that NAND is 'detached'. But can also be simply firmware corrupt, same symptom, and without PC3000 support not a lot you can do.

IMHO reflow/reballing make things only worse. 99% cases not help.
