DC S3700 with ASSERT_A368 & logic disable

[KMarb]

Hi There,

I have a DC S3700 I bought from someone and it functioned well until just a few days ago when its capacity dropped to 8.4 MB and my computer wouldn't boot.

I connected it to a windows pc to see if the SSD toolbox software would help and the buttons were greyed out so I couldn't do a format or a firmware update.

I then downloaded the SSD Datacenter Tool to see that would help and I find that the drive serial number is "ASSERT_A368" and it has ancient firmware on it version 5DV10250.

ISDCT says "Selected drive is in a disable logical state." and I can't format the drive or update the firmware using ISDCT and I get the "disable logical state" error again.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Karl
