Need Instructions For A 79fk Drive
« on: May 13, 2007, 05:59:00 AM »

Hello can somebody help me out with instructions to flash my orginal 0079FK drive?
I have FWtoolbox 3.1 already and tried to load the original FW from this drive it is visible under windows XP but won't dump the firmware...

To dump/flash the firmware from a 79fk you need to desolder the chip, pop it in a programmer read the firmware then reflash it & resolder.

Just like the 78fk used to be

i would suggest waiting for a future version of toolbox... here is a clip from the 3.1b readme...

WHAT IS NEXT ON FUTURE TOOLBOX VERSIONS ?:
------------------------------------------
   - Direct dump/flash of 79 drives
   - Smart Hack Patcher configurable by script (avoid hard coded rules)
   - Restore and Patch Wizards (for totally noobs)
