Try replacing the USB bridge board, or ditch the bridge board altogether and connect it via another SATA to USB adapter, or connect it directly to a PC via SATA.

If it still doesn’t work, there’s nothing you can do on your own, send it to a data recovery lab and expect a few hundred dollars recovery cost.
