Question Lenovo laptop stuck on boot menu, drive can't be read externally

[Uxbridge]

A while back I tried booting a laptop of mine and instead of loading as it usually does, it gave me the Lenovo splash screen followed by the boot menu. Since then, I have not been able to use it. I followed a tutorial suggesting I manually change the system time and switch between UEFI and Legacy support. I also made sure the drive is listed as first in boot priority, but nothing has helped.

I removed the SSD and connected it to another laptop with an enclosure so I could backup my files, but in the middle of a transfer it got disconnected and now it can't be read even when connected externally. When I plug it in it automatically disconnects itself after about 40 seconds. I cannot see it listed under file manager. However, when I open it up on disk manager it sometimes shows up for a few seconds before the drive gets ejected automatically. I don't think this is a problem with the enclosure itself since it works fine when I connect another SSD to it.

I included a picture of the boot menu screen and a screenshot of what disk management looks like when the SSD happens to show up:

Not sure what to make of the disk management screen. Since the file system is listed as "RAW" and the free space is listed as 100% I take it is corrupted. But is there any chance that of recovering any files on the drive? Or is there any chance I can still get the OS to boot? I'm not very good with technical computer stuff so I'm unsure about all of this. I figured perhaps there's a chance given that the drive is recognized in the boot menu.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sure there is a chance. But question is - how much are you willing to pay for it?
Since at given moment, the drive is "dead" and only data recovery that can be done, is via data recovery firm, who have the know-how and tools to get the personal data off from it. (E.g de-solder the NAND cells from the drive and solder them to 2nd, compatible host drive.) Depending on how much work they have to do, it either costs a fortune or an arm and a leg.

FAR cheaper would be buying a new drive and installing fresh OS to it.

Or, RMA the drive. Samsung 970 Evo Plus has 5 years of warranty. So, if the laptop isn't older than that, either contact Lenovo and ask RMA through them, or contact Samsung directly and ask RMA via Samsung.

My 1st 970 Evo Plus 2TB also died on me, 30 days after purchase. I RMA'd my drive through the store where i bought it and got a replacement drive, that has now worked flawlessly, 3 years and counting.
