Find out if internal nvme connector is broken

[Greatisgreat]

The ssd in my macbook pro mid 2014 recently died so i booted into the macbook through an external drive.
Now i would like to know if the connector is the problem before i buy a new ssd.
so how can I find out if the connector is the problem before buying a new ssd?

"so how can I find out if the connector is the problem before buying a new ssd?"

Test the connector with a "known-good" Apple-factory drive from another 2014 laptop.
(easier said than done, right....?)

Or... take YOUR SSD out, and test it -- either in another 2014 MBP, or perhaps in an external enclosure.
(again, easier said than done)

Or take the MacBook to an Apple Store and let them diagnose it.

The 2014 is now classified as vintage and Apple stores may not provide diagnostic services.
