I was updating my 3500A when the flash stop responding. Is there a way to force update the drive in dos? All the dos flasher seems to have problems because it checks for checksums or supported media before allowing updates.
Would love to revive this drive.

Thanks.

Were you using the official updater or Binflash?
Also is the drive recognized by your BIOS? Does the eject/load button work?
