I flashed my hitachi 79fl to 1.41 some time ago and due to my lack of experience I did not back up anything. I tried to update to 1.51, needless to say I bricked it. Drive now will not eject, but detected by bios. After doing some research I have found it is possible to recover the key by desoldering the TSOP chip. My question is, does anyone offer this service? I found a guy at Swaytech.org or something, but that is overseas. I rather not ship so far away if I can find someone in the States. Let me know if anyone can help. And please any advise or suggestions is appreciated.

If you didn't get your key yet, then yes, the key can be saved.

As for saving the drive itself-

- If your 79 has never been flashed, it may be able to be saved.
- If if was flashed before, then saving it is possible, but unlikely.

But either way, at the least the key can be saved.
