Yes, remove the tsop from them and put it in the compatible adapter and connect it to the programmer (willem is the one i uses to use).
Dump it, open the dump in JF and creste a stock FW for it and save an encrypted copy. Flash the encrypted copy and solder the tsop back. If i didnt forget anything then youre done now.
Just happens that I have willem , don't know only if I will have clip for it :/ have both both dumps from both drives it crashed while correcting checksums on both
you talk about 39sf020a ?

It's of course a possibility but as you have two to unbrick and the adapter probably is less than $10 from eBay it may be worth getting one?With bit effort might recover with soldering just cables to pins just this will be extreme

No I couldn't either, when I got mine it was cheap but I think they make them in gold and diamonds these daysProblem is that can't find it for 10$
at least it look like it on the prices.Yeap , that's why trying to solder wires , unless you can give me a hand I will desolder both chips send them to you in post you will drop them in to clip load them with goodies and post them to me any standard post will do as consoles are worth value of peanuts that is just idea

Ireland , I have bought two consoles for 5e with those drives and one had rrod and other had killed laser ,bought them and they meant to be for parts but oh well it seems they work (sort of) , and best part is that the one with rrod had fixed by leaving it with out fan as power supply and it slip my mind to fit fan and it magically went alive that was quickest reflow in my life , after bringing them to live they meant to gift to my nephew so this will make one kid happy
