    Did you read the warning that said that updating the firmware unsuccessfully will render the drive unusable? They don't put that warning there for nothing you know.

    I suppose you could try to pry open the drive and see if the ROM chip is removable. Don't count on it though, it may be easier to just go and get a new drive.
