Macbook Air MD231 SSD missing after going to sleep?

Good day!
I have this problem: I went out of the house, closed the lid of my Macbook Air MD231 (13" 2012) without turning off the computer. Came back, the computer did not boot. A folder with a question mark appeared. Later booted through the built-in recovery system and launched the disk utility. Utility showed that there is supposedly no SSD in the system.I connected an external hard drive via USB and installed Mac OS 10.7 on it in the hope, using some software, to detect
the SSD.To no avail.Climb inside and disconnect the battery (as advised on the Internet) I did not I can, because the thread on the cap is broken on two screws and they cannot be unscrewed.The
laptop was brought from the States, there is no warranty card or receipt.
There is no way to carry it to the SC now. I will be grateful for any help.

MD231 is Mid 2012. When did you already manage to strip the thread?
And if in essence, take a drill and drill out the bolts (change them anyway). Well, do an iron test.

Devman , no thanks. I have already found a lot of information.
I'll wait until the end of the holidays and take it to the service so that it can be untwisted (2 bolts do not lend themselves) or I will have to carefully drill it out.
I plan to order an SSD from here . With delivery to Ukraine, you get $ 202. We have one for $360. Maybe there is an alternative?

We disassembled the beech and established by experience that the SSD is dead :(
I will order OWC 120GB Aura Pro 6G Solid State Drive.
Thanks to everyone who took part in the discussion.

I stumbled across my old post by accident. And at the request of the workers, I will tell you how it all ended.
Buying a CD in OWC is not so easy, as it turns out.
First I asked my foreign client to buy me this CD and send it to my Ukrainian address. I thought to save on commissions client-exchange-my card. As a result, the parcel was never sent and the money was returned. The fact is that the address to which the card is issued, according to the OWC rules, must match the delivery address.
I tried to order directly and pay with a currency card from PrivatBank, which I use for purchases in foreign online stores. This card was not accepted. After a lengthy correspondence, I had to cancel the order.
Since there is nowhere else to buy this disc, I asked my client to order the disc to his address, and then send it to me via Fedex. As a result, the delivery turned out to be $ 45 more expensive than if they sent directly.
I took the 240Gb model for $269 and shipping cost me about $90 (not very economical, but what can you do). It took 12 days from the moment of order to receipt, but this is taking into account the fact that the disc was traveling from America, first to Canada, and then to Ukraine.
