| Post subject: | PNY CS900 240GB SSD showing as controller name, reflash firm |
Hi, Recently, one of my SSDs (a PNY CS900 240GB SSD) died out. I noticed that in CrystalDiskInfo it shows up as 'SATAFIRM S11'. It would appear that the firmware has corrupted. I decided to open the SSD, and it has a Phison PS3111-S11-13 controller. I wanted to reflash the firmware on, however, to do that I would need to boot the SSD in 'safe mode' by shorting some pins. This is when my problem arrives: I could not find the pins. I looked at others' PNY CS900s, however, my PCB is different. Due to that, I am unable to locate the pins. I have attached some pictures, so if someone knows where the pins are, help would be greatly appreciated. I have uploaded the images here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nCEmex ... drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZnnBRc ... drive_link Thanks in advance, |

I do data recovery on these all the time. What firmware flashing tool are you using? You will lose your data doing this. Its probably worn out and useless for repair. |

There are 2: 1) s11-flahser from http://vlo.name:3000/ssdtool/ 2) Phison PS3111 SSD MPTool v2.2.85 from https://www.usbdev.ru/files/phison/ps3111ssdmptool/ I couldn't figure out either; but I apparently need to short some pins which I can't find |

+1 to what Zero Alpha says. Most often than not, drives that develop such errors are degraded (to say the least), so repairing them would be a waste of time. If the data is important, well, flashing it would be a great way to get rid of important data. |
