I just want to point out that the oven is a very sane solution if the problem is solder joints. I've revived motherboards and 8800GT's that way.
Yes, that assumes that the solder is the problem in the first place though. Considering how SSDs don't run very hot in the first place as their power usage is incredibly low, so I doubt solder was running. nVidia had some issues a while back because they switched the kind of solder they used and between the temps and the new solder, it wouldn't stay completely solid. Either way, I doubt that is the problem here.
The heatgun method I mentioned is basically a less crude version of putting it in the oven.
And while SSDs don't consume a lot of power, the controllers(especially Sandforce for some reason) can get very hot. I've taken SSDs part and seen discoloration from heat around the controller on the inside of the case. So a solder issue isn't out of the question, IMO.
