If the MiniTool Power Data Recovery does not work then try the following program below.  It is a little more complicated so make sure to read the documentation.

Depending on how important the data is you may want to try creating a disk image of your drive as follows as a backup in case any of these options make your disk unusable, etc.

It is hard to see the board very well. Are you seeing damage to that trace? 

https://ibb.co/c2wyN9

 

At this point it really depends on how important the data is to you. If it is very important then your best option is to send to a professional for repair.

 

If you are willing to try some other options then we can try that as well?

 

I don't know for sure if you can create an image backup with Macrium or other software but it is worth a try. If it works then you may at least be able to get the data off.
