issue [FIXED]

Also I have a problem with my Force 3 120GB.

 

I fallow the the procedure you described:

- Motherboard setting is on ACHI

- I run updater with administrator privileges

- I select the wright corresponding number

- At the end of the process is shown the success notification

 

... but my Force 3 still on 1.3.3 FW :confused:

 

I try the procedure multiple times but th result is the same! ...

I have precisely the same issue:

I have a Corsair SF 3 120Gb

- motherboard uses Intel AHCI

- ran the tool as Admin

- chose the high number .vic from the 120gGb zip file - "22978_fw.vic"

- the process ran and the green check appeared

- a rescan or relaunch of the tool still shows the old 1.3.3 revision with a "22788" signature

- ok, so maybe this is not a "cumulative" update. So tried going step at a time - use 22793, then 22853, etc - but that gives the same result, i.e. it still shows the old revision and sig as before.

Please suggest if I am doing this wrong? Am I supposed upgrade to some other interim versions before stepping upto 5.03?

Hoping to do this since a clean install of Win7 pro freezes after a few minutes of booting up on this drive with its current firmware rev/signature.

Have not been able to use the drive in over two months since buying it.

thnx

Sorry - never mind - my bad.

As per page 4 in the guide "Locate the config file matching with the same last five signature numbers"

I must have skimmed over or paged down too quickly.

Once you select the same number update filename as the number shown in the fieldUpdater tool, it works great. I was selecting a higher number filename instead.

I now have 5.03 revision instead of 1.3.3 and will proceed to load a fresh W8.

Will post if I keep getting the same BSODs with W8 as I did with W7.

Thanks.
