Stuck in BIOS, SSD not detected!

[desertpunk]

My ASUS UX305 gets stuck in BIOS (all of a sudden this morning) and internal SSD is not detected. I tried almost all the solutions from the internet like disabling fast boot, enabling CSM, etc. I ran live Ubuntu from USB and checked for the ssd but it showed no drive except the live USB drive.
Any suggestions please!

Hopefully you will have a hatch on the base of the laptop with a three disk icon and under which lies the drive. Unscrew that hatch and touch the drive gently - if it's warm chances are it is receiving power so it may have failed. If it's cold, push it gently further into the connectors and it may start.

Yah it's warm.🙁

I think the best bet is to take that drive out and slave it to another machine. run Checkdisk in there using the /r switch to find and fix disk errors. The syntax will therefore be
chkdsk x: /r
where x is whichever drive letter the other PC assigns to that disk.

Yet to find another machine that supports that SSD. Is there an adapter kind of thing for it to be connected to a desktop for example?

It's a standard connection that will fit any normal SATA to USB converter. I can't think it's any different to all the other SSDs.
