I have a Kingston NV2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB SSD (SNV2S/2000G).

While removing the heatsink, I accidentally damaged the PCB. Since then, the SSD has not been detected at all — not in the BIOS, Windows Device Manager, or Disk Management. I also tested it in another M.2 slot, but the result was the same.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed several suspicious or damaged areas in the upper-left section of the PCB. There appear to be two small components or corresponding solder pads in this area. I am also unsure about one of the edge contacts and whether it is damaged or was intentionally left unpopulated by the manufacturer.

I would like to identify exactly which components were damaged and determine whether the SSD can be repaired.

My questions:

What are these two components or solder pads?

What are the exact values and specifications of these components?

Is the edge contact in question supposed to be present, or was it intentionally left unpopulated by the manufacturer?

I have since found a photo of the same SSD showing these components intact. Could anyone experienced in SSD repair and data recovery help identify the exact specifications of these components?

If possible, I would also greatly appreciate high-resolution photos of the exact same PCB revision, especially the upper-left section, so I can compare the components and solder pads with my damaged board.

The data on this SSD is very important to me, so I do not want to solder anything or risk shorting any connections before identifying the components correctly.

I would be very grateful for any help, especially from anyone with experience in NVMe SSD repair and data recovery.

Thank you in advance!

Huh?
