Anatomy of a OCZ SSD smoked drive.

That makes sense to me. Since I work at a nuclear power plant, we routinely send off components that fail catastrophically to see what the heck happened. If you took it apart you contaminated the "crime scene". There's really no point in them spending big dollars to disect the problem when you've already taken it apart.

I am sorry for your loss. Hopefully you didn't lose any important data. SSDs aren't cheap either.
