@Fabby Just in case you are around. Now after doing mkfs it still doesn't work...
(cannot mount)
I repeated the same process.
Ah, it mounted.

It seems if I mount it in readonly mode I get access to more files.
mount -o ro /dev/sdc2 /mnt/ssd-copy

@Fabby So, I copied the files on another HDD, installed Ubuntu 18.04 on the laptop's SSD (the one I had problems with), installed Dropbox, and brought the things back.
What I'd need is to check if the SSD is permanently damaged and if so, how much of it.

OK, so how are the files, because we still have testdisk up our sleeve.

It's critical to import the MySQL databases.
Have something interesting there.

But I have backups for those, tho, which are a bit older.

You can leave some commands here to let me know what to do.
Will wake up early.
Fabby
Fabby
so do you want to continue tomorrow or today?

In about 7 hours.
You can give me some links to existing answers, which you think may help

Btw, when I installed 18.04, I created three partitions: / (20GB), /home (the rest) and swap (17GB).
Fabby
Fabby 
sudo smartctl --all /dev/XdY
where X and Y are whatever the scan came up with.
Ionică Bizău
Ionică Bizău
Coolio!
