You of course need the key from the burned out drive, and the only way to get that is to lift the IC chip and put it on another board or in a programmer... if the chip is not damaged.

I don't understand why people go straight to trying to write firmware, instead of backing up their dummy.bin, Oh well, if you follow what rdubbs007 said you should be able to bring it back. Lesson learned

post pictures of your burned PCB, there is a chance that it can be repaired.

I saved fried boards before but need to see the board in order to tell. Open the drive, remove the PCB and see if there are any points that are burned or damaged and post pictures of it.

Hi, I have the same problem, with the liteon 74850c and wanted to know if this drive is salvageable.

You'll be best off starting your own thread. Some will call it hijacking which isn't aloud.

Threads that are asking questions are ment to be about specific problems.

LittleT beat me to it. Good luck.
