Send it to some proper professionals like Ontrack.

Re: I'm and idiot. I tried to transfer my Firmware Chip. Maybe Fried It. Now What?
Yea, I have been talking to them via email. I have one more shot with this bios and pros programing it or something. However, if this doesn't work out, looks like I will have to send this drive out to Ontrack, or another recovery service.
However, I will still have to decide if this data is even worth that.Comment

Re: I'm and idiot. I tried to transfer my Firmware Chip. Maybe Fried It. Now What?
Well, looks like this is where my journey ends. For everyone that has been thoughtful and kind. Thank you. Looks like with the unexpected crash of this hard drive and the mistakes that I have made, I will not be able to retrieve this data. I will hold onto this drive-in case technology changes in the future or if I become independently wealthy and can afford a “professional recovery service”.
To all the negative people out there. Humans are human. We make mistakes even when we know better. My father has been in computers for over 50+ years in the military. I know a lot about computers and backups. Life got in the way. I have a lot going on right now and the last thing I need is smart aleck comments about backing up data.
Anyhow, I hope everyone has a wonderful day and wish all of you the best of success in life.Comment

I found the problem. There is a stuck bit at this location:
Code:
Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
00025C10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00
^^
When I change the 8 to a 0, the CRC becomes 0x0000.
F3RomExplorer is happy with the edit. If you can reprogram your ROM after making the change, then hopefully you will recover your data.
I use HxD (freeware hex editor).

Hi guys.
I've got a Ubiquiti US-8-150W POE switch which has issues with updating the firmware.
Turned out to be a bad EEPROM chip. It would read the firmware and work as normal, but failed to write new firmware to it.
So I took off the chip and read on EEPROM and saved it. Wrote to old chip and failed to write
Got New chip and writes good.
THE PROBLEM...
It fails to fully load the firmware, POE lights fail to work during g firmware test during load. I'm suspecting bad EEPROM Read.
Does anyone have a Good Firmware I can have?... -
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a recent experience I had with a laptop that had a Type-C Port issue, specifically related to a PD (Power Delivery) controller problem. After replacing the damaged PD controller chip with a new one I purchased from AliExpress, the laptop now charges properly and negotiates power as expected, allowing the device to power up. I've replaced this chip twice just in case.
However, it seems that the laptop's BIOS is detecting an older version of the PD Firmware on the newly installed chip. As a result, it attempts... -

Here`s a quick ME Firmware cleaning guide.
The guide is basic,its main goal is to show you how to use intel FIT,its highly recommended that you all follow the guide posted at win-raid
(The attached FIT version is 11, if your ME Firmware (FW) is not 11.0.*.* follow the win-raid guide. Use the tools version for your ME FW, for example: ME System Tools v9.1 For systems running ME v9.0 - v9.1)
A video,software (intel FIT) and practice bios are all included. I`ll post a better video and more advanced guide at a later date.
