Undetectable M.2 SATA Drive

Hello all, a colleague approached me about her personal laptop not booting up. Long story short her drive appears to have completely failed. Her laptops bios indicates no boot device is present. I removed the drive and placed it in a a USB enclosure which should be compatible on paper: This is the enclosure I used

 

There was no drive activity at all. Windows only recognized the enclosure and macOS didn't recognize the drive either. I'm out of my own resources that I have to attempt to get data off of this drive. I was just wondering if there was anything else I could try to attempt to get this drive up and running at least enough to get the data off it. If not this thing is off to drive savers. 

 

Drive model: MZ-NTY2560. Appears to be just a regular SATA M.2 2280 drive.

I fired up parted magic with the persons machine and the drive installed. Nada. I think it’s cooked.
