ssd problem no access to data

[BardiaMGTGC]

my ssd crashed while playing games and everything froze

i couldnt boot and when i force restarted it said that i should backup my data when i tried booting i couldnt it would crash again 

then i booted to my linux mint live usb stick and tried to remount partition to get full read write access

i kind of messed up because after unmounting the drive the drive structure was kind of gone 

this was the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda:

 

Disk /dev/sda: 16 KiB, 16384 bytes, 32 sectors Units:

sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

i actually had access to my data before unmounting it

now drive shows up as sandisk maltipas or something like that and it has 0MB in front of it as size of the drive

im currently booted in my linux hard drive and dont know what to do

any ideas?

Try using TestDisk to recover the partition.

Also, never mount a drive as R/W when you suspect a drive failure. Only mount it as read-only or use recovery tools like PhotoRec and TestDisk.

testdisk says:

Note: Disk capacity must be correctly detected for a successful recovery. 

while my disk size is 240gb but shows up as:

Disk /dev/sda - 16 KB / 16 KiB - Sandisk Milpitas SSD 

anything i can do or any suggestions

sounds like some sort of data loss from the disk?

atleast it sounds similar to what happened to 4 of my usb's at work, which basically made me throw about 512GB down the drain

it crashed out of nowhere no sign or anything

when i had read only access i was able to atleast see some folders and files that i had available didnt check for all of them

so i was thinking if there is a way to update the firmware or reinstall the firmware to get any kind of access to the drive without the ssd software because i cant use the software it doesnt recognize it
