No, the problem is, that is was working perfectky ¡­. untill I tried to erase it / format it.

I can¡¯t seem to do that, so I was just looking for ¡°other ways¡± to TRY TO erase/reset/revive it
You don¡¯t erase SSD¡¯s, it damages them. Apple has specifically removed the tools to do that from Disk Utility for that very reason.

You repair an SSD by running First Aid. If First Aid doesn¡¯t fix your SSD, you are SOL. There are no third party tools for the Macintosh to fix an SSD.
