OCZ Vertex Plus 120GB SSD - recovering from Sandforce bug

[dulcificum]

Tried to cold boot PC after disconnecting my UPS.
Windows couldn't boot.
Turns out SSD (boot drive) is not being recognised by UFEI/BIOS.
Have tried alternative SATA ports, power cables and SATA cables.
Blue LED still comes on inside drive.
Further investigation suggests it's the Sandforce bug.
Have tried the following suggested fixes:
a) repeatedly restart
b) boot PC with just SATA power connected, leave running for 30 minutes, connect SATA data, reboot without power off
c) boot PC with just SATA power connected, leave running overnight, connect SATA data, reboot without power off
d) boot into live CD such as PartedMagic and see if that can awaken the SSD.

Running out of options now. Anyone got any other plans?

(although instructions are unclear as preliminary blurb refers to connecting only power while numbered points refer to only disconnecting the power)
