I did what you told me but it does the same thing you saw on the video.

you need to click yes..... them push the probe button...probe the mpx01 and then while probe is on it release the button. Should say those steps in the pop up window..

any chance this drive had the trace cut done at some point. I had one last night that kept failing. I flipped the pcb and it had the trace cuts done and the repair was sh*te. Once i cleaned it up and repaired it properly the key came first try.

 

[x360ccm]

just do what it say in the step by step.

then you should have no probs

 

[abel305]

I did it how you guys suggested still nothing happens.

 

[DBTarmac]

did you check to see if it had the trace cuts done before?

Where do i check to see if it had the trace cut?

based on the video your not doing it right, listen to what people are telling you. press phat key then click YES,

then do the probing to MPX01 by first holding power button on probe, then probe MPX01, then release the power button, look at screen for extraction complete then remove probe. press and release power of probe after extrection message pops up and then click yes again on screen. DO it, it works,

it is showing the vendor issue because it is trying to extract key yet your probe is not on when it needs to be

Under the pcb.. remove the 2 small screws. and flip it over.

Have a look at this and you will see what i am talking about..

There are no trace cuts. I forgot to mention the drive has been flashed before but i cant get in contact with the guy that flashed it for me, So he has the keys does that have anything to do with the error?

 

[xXBladeXx]

make sure you hold the probe down firm as not enough pressure would give you this error

NO, did you do what i suggested

 

[abel305]

I did what you suggested and it still does the same thing . I even tryed to do it with the tray half open and the same thing you see in the video still happens

 

[hersheys247]

do you get status 0x51 after you click phat key, then for it telling you to power drive... probe then power drive back on...?

Sounds to me more like a chipset issue,what chipset are you using.

 

[ajindaouse]

dont know if it will help but i had the same issue key not extracting a while ago and i was using via 6421 sata card and xecuter ck3 pro couldnt figure out what was going wrong then eventually realised i didnt have the correct xecuter drivers installed for port io and as soon as i installed these it worked first time sorry if this doesnt help

Well you need the via card or the USBpro,I understand that some onboard chipsets may work at times but give trouble just as your having.Now put the via card back into your pc and uninstall the drivers to the via card and give it another try,more than likely it will work the very first time after you remove the drivers from the via card.

There is a nice tut on how to remove the via drivers on this very forum if you need help to remove them correctly.

I think the problem is with my sata port, So i purchased a PCI Card VT6421A. Hopefully it will work with that.
