Possible to fix a Corsair Force 3?

ng93 · 13 Sep 2013 at 09:29

I think my Force 3 120GB has died. My desktop doesn't recognise it in the bios, also tried it in a MacBook which then refused to boot or even post I think (little difficult to tell with Apple stuff).

Tried formatting it but GParted can't see it either. Is it possible to fix it, or is an RMA needed?

Thanks,

RMA.

If you try ~~butchering~~ fixing it yourself, your warranty will go out the window.

Thanks SeraphX, but I was thinking more along the lines of a software utility that could restore it, in case it's just been corrupted or something.

Edit: Just found Corsair's SSD Toolbox but the websites down, anyone know if this could work?

leave it unplugged/unpowered for a few hours then try

if you can get it recognised in the bios/windows then do a secure erase on it

use parted magic
