2x 545S 1TB FW Update error 10/53

[AndreBorchert]

Hello,

I have two Lenovo T520 notebooks and upgraded them this way:

• One notebook has a new 545S 1TB drive
• The other has a 545S 512GB as boot drive and a 545S 1TB as a Dropbox drive.

All drives are new. The 512GB drive required a FW update which was done within Windows using the SSD Toolbox 3.5.7. The two 1TB drives refuse to accept the FW update, no matter if I use the SSD Toolbox or the SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO 3.0.5 from a USB pen.

The error in the SSD Toolbox is shown as "10/53". The error from the Firmware Update ISO is shown in the attached picture. As the same error happens on two different notebooks with brand new 1TB drives from Amazon I am worried that there is a general issue with the 545S 1TB drives. All drives run in AHCI mode, Intel Chipset driver 10.1.1.42 installed. There are no issues to use the drives, speeds are as expected.

Both 1TB drives have the FW LHF0B1C and are supposed to be updated to LHF0B2C.

Please advise how to update the FW on the 1TB drives. Both are in daily business use and I cannot replace them at this time.

Many thanks for checking,

Andre
