I had a perfect working Toshiba MQ01 ABD050 drive rev AAA AA00/AX001A
I tried to convert Sata to USB with compatible PCB. So I would put customers data on it. Kinda unnecessary stupid try I know.
My second fault I haven't back up anything from good hdd.

After hot swap rom chip. Chip died. Not working. Sure about over heat when soldering. but other chip working. I never changed heat degrees. I did so much hot swap before. This is second rom died .
Now Is there any chance to rebuild Rom for this hdd. It's not recovery job. I want to fix this hdd .
I have more pcb same pcb number.

Toshiba ROM's unique for each drive, so your drive is dead now.
Use it as head donor for instance.

No way, sorry ...

No-one have sollution so far to rebuild ROM on Toshiba unless you can try to read the chip on a programmer and somehow it does work ...


I tried with MRT chip reader. Doesn't read it. Also doesn't read another chips.tried 1 dead 2 working chip. I tried only 1.8 V. Never used that equipment before. Maybe I miss something.

I don't know which language using in eprom. I will research it.

I hope you are up front with your customer and have insurance to help compensate them for your mistake.

MRT programmer never worked for me. When is able to read, rom file results no good (in the best case, some bits are not read correctly).
I use revelprog as suggested by spildit, it's fine!

Why don't you try it?
The best way is to test it for yourself and see if it provides good results for you.

Sorry Spildit, but my answer was to a previous post of another guy that went missing.

Try ROM's dumped off the identical drives (same manufacture date is HIGHLY desirable). The head maps must match. I am not sure about Toshiba but this trick has worked many times for me on WD drives (including new models).

No, it won’t.
