| Post subject: | MRT + Easytool for Crucial MX500 |
Hello, I have a MX500 here to work on with a SM2258H AB controller, i tryed to connect it to MRT but I don't get an ID or size. Then I tryed to create a Virtual Translator but there was no module for the MX500. The Support suggested to try it with the ADATA-Module but in that Module is also just an SM2258G controller listed. Anyway I tryed that and It had some kind of effect but failed in the middle of the process. After I got an ID and it read a zize of 1GB... After that the support of MRT suggested I should try a programm called Easy Tool v. 2.0.7. So I connected the SSD with an buffalo SATA to USB3 PCB to the PC. I shorted the twu pins labeled with JP3 to come to safe mode and connected the USB-port. But the programm was not able to find the disk. I retryed the same with a Seagate-PCB and the same result. Both PCBs work fine and I tested them with other disks and they do there job... Any Ideas what could be wrong? Any suggestions? |

It should work with PC3000 SSD. |

Is there some other method? Maybe buy a working MX500 and transfer the memory-chips? |

Maybe try this? In-circuit recovery of SSDs with "weak" NAND: http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=2740 |

I get no model-info, no serial, no capacity, nothing... After trying to build a virtual translator I got at least some reaction. It just don't sound to me like that would help. But thanks for sharing that - sounds really interesting for some cases. |

For that I would need help - electronics is really not my cup of coffee. If there is a plan or some scema which tell me what to test - no problem. |
