hi,
i flashed my 1004 drive with 049 beta and it was working fine but i had problem reading some discs so i tired to flash my drive back to 043 in dos but when i was flashing the update ran and it did not run from 00% to 100 and it was stuck there for a long time. Now the drive is dead no power , no tray eject. I used the command line
mtkflash 3 w /a0 all0.hex for first file
but it doesnt go to 100 % and is stuck at 0 and therefore i cannot flash other files. Now its completly dead no light no power. Please can anyone help.
thanks,
