We have to know about the type of the device, then we have to identify the id of the parts. We have to look the manufacturer name and the model name. If we have not the proper manufacturer name and the model name, then we may fall in great risk while upgrading it or while flashing the firmware on it.So we must need the proper information about the device.
If we have not the above information about the device, we have to look it .We can get it directly by contacting directly with the manufacturer company or by email. Or we can search it on web. We shall be able to find proper id, model and version name by searching it on the web or on the company’s website. We can also find the proper firmware version on the list there.
We can also find the proper information by the CD,DVD info or drive info. Or it will be available in the firmware embedded in the device because some manufacturer do not supply the full information about brand or version .
If such happen, we have to look upon the packet of the device .It’s CD or DVD may be stolen. But it is sure that the model and brand name must be written on the packet or somewhere on the device or in the firmware software.
Usually people are looking for free firmware version or free upgrade firmware version. But before doing it we have to complete above steps.
Manufacturer Company supply every parts or device with specific or separate id and model name. And the firmware version also be differently. So we need to find proper information.
If there everything is ok then we you just have to follow the link to download the relevant region free firmware version, and we have to sure that the firmware does not get corrupted during the transfer. We have to be sure that there were no errors during the extraction process, if it comes out of a zip archive file. We should not try to use a corrupted or damaged firmware, because it may occur drive inoperable.
Most often, the firmware is available into a zip file with the DOS flashing utility, but this is not always happens. We need to download the flashing utility if the zip file didn't contain an .EXE or .COM file,. It's available listed on the same page as the one where we downloaded the firmware.
If we can't find any, then we have to contact with the manufacturer, in support or download section. Some manufacturers also make Windows flashing utilities, that have a more intuitive interface, so we should checking the site for this. And we should download all the documentation/readme/help file associated with the firmware, and read it carefully.
Now we can run this on system and we have to select proper drive. Then we have to select proper brand and proper model and proper firmware version.
Firmware should be handled with extreme care. Read and think 5 times before installing firmware, as not to damage the equipment
