1) DEVICE: Netac NV5000, 500GB, M.2 NVMe. Controller presumably TenaFe TC2200 (not visually confirmed — board under heatsink with "warranty void if removed" seal). Hardware ID seen before failure (old Windows log): PCI\VEN_1F40&DEV_0001&SUBSYS_02801D89&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1F40&DEV_0001&CC_010802 2) BRIDGE USED FOR DIAGNOSTICS: JMicron JMS583 VID: 152D / PID: 0583, fw jm583_00_02_01_04 Shows as "JMicron Generic SCSI Disk Device" / "JMicron Generic 0214" 3) FAILURE CAUSE: Drive stopped being detected after RAM overclocking instability errors on the motherboard (not the SSD itself overclocked — system RAM OC caused instability, drive failed to be detected afterward). 4) TEST RESULTS: Windows: Disk Management asks to initialize, "No Media" / can't read size. R-Studio: "JMicron Generic 0214", size field empty. DMDE: "Disk unavailable". Linux dmesg: Sense Key Hardware Error, ASC=0x44 ASCQ=0x81, Read Capacity failed, 0 logical blocks. smartctl: "Test Unit Ready [medium or hardware error (serious)]" Identical error across Windows/Linux/macOS. 5) J2 SHORTING TEST: Shorted contacts labeled J2 on the board (no documentation, guesswork — J2 is one of several unlabeled pads near the controller). After shorting, Tenafe NVME flash id v0.11a utility returns: Model: Merak Nvme Ssd Controller Fw: c1bc3e90 Size: 1 MB [0.0 GB] LBA Size: 512 Without shorting J2, the same utility returns "Identify error!" with no response at all. So J2 shorting does change something, but Read Capacity/actual sector reads still fail — drive still shows 0 usable blocks/bytes in every OS. Is "Merak Nvme Ssd Controller" / 1MB actually a genuine ROM/boot mode, or just the controller's standard firmware-panic fallback identity (as seen in a similar Kingston case on Tom's Hardware forums)? If it IS a real ROM mode entry — what's the next step to dump NAND/FTL from here? Data matters, zero budget for professional recovery (student). Board photos (without breaking warranty seal) available on request. |

The TC controller is not supported by commercial tools, so in-house solutions are the only option. vanyassia wrote: Data matters, zero budget for professional recovery (student). In that case, you must accept data loss. |

The SSD has a 5 year warranty so try that. Make a backup of important data, never assume any disk or SSD is perfect. |
