maybe not, its possible a cable came loose. Double-check the connections are all snug and restart. And what OS are you running on your lappy?

put the ssd in question back into another computer but as data or second drive... meaning dont boot off of it, boot off of the second computer's regular hdd. Once in windows, see if you can access the ssd, as in browse around, copy and delete files, etc. If you have no problems, the ssd may not be defective. But if you cant (as in you cant access the drive, you get error/warning messages, etc) then you probably have a broken ssd.
Let us know what you find out

this is a good idea too. However, couldn't the boot sector still be shot? If so,is there a way to repair it?

on regular mechanical hdds, yes, there are a number of options. But im not sure about ssds. If OP wants to, he could try right-clicking on the drive (probably the D drive, if there are no other hdds), and use the "scan for errors" tool...
Or if frontrunner wants to use the ssd as the primary os drive, boot from the windows 7 install disk, and run the Startup Repair Wizard. But now im pretty much just guessing

As crazy as it might sound, it sometimes takes me 2 or 3 "startup repair" runs to get a mangled dual-boot working again. And did you try accessing the ssd as a regular drive on another computer? That will be the most definitive test you can run. If that fails, its RMA time.

no, if several passes don't change anything, its unlikely more will help. Again, seeing if you can access anything on the ssd from another booted-up computer will be the best test you can run at this point.
But you originally said you were surfing around in firefox when it froze, so you rebooted and now it is no longer bootable. That usually means something went wrong physicaly... as in overheated, voltage surge, something bent/broke, etc. I cant see any of those happening is a regular laptop though.
If everything else fails, the last thing you can try before sending it back to intel for a replacment is to reformat the ssd (either from another booted-up pc, or from the windows 7 install disk), and try reinstalling windows 7 on it.
