SSD Critical Error

Recently I did get in contact with a very helpful person from tom's hardware however I do not believe I was specific enough. Two days ago I was downloading something off of steam. In the process of doing so I got a disk write error. Thinking nothing of it I decided to restart my computer.
To my surprise my ssd was no longer being recognized as a storage device. However when I unplugged my ssd it popped up on the disk manager as a disk with all unallocated data. It also appeared in my device manger as a mass storage device. After two days of digging the only thing that I have been able to learn was that my ssd had a critical error 7:54, which is at the same time I restarted my computer
To add to the info the ssd shows up as "disk 1" in disk manager, but only when I unplug it. Also since it stopped working it has been continuously been running to the point where it is always warm and the light has stopped working.
I have no clue what went wrong or if I can fix this in any way. Any help would be much apriciated.

As SSDs have no moving parts, there is no "fixing" them. They are basically huugggeee thumb drives, and unlike mechanical hard drives, you can't even disassemble them and try to recover data from the platters. I'm afraid the only "fixing" them is buy a new one, or if it is still under warranty, have the manufacturer replace it.:(
