Steps for using Recovery Jig on e452 ?

[CCS]

Hello, I have an e452 here in the shop, was updating firmware and my usb stick that I have used many times in the past must of had some corrupt files now and machine said HDD update failed, have no machine function now and it won't allow me to access any code input,another tech said I needed a Recovery Jig now.
OK so I ordered the latest vs jig, now I have never done or watched anyone do a recovery, so my question...
Is there a simple routine of steps to load this recovery ?
I have all the manuals, and there is alot of jig info. that I am not familiar with, kind of unsure and don't want to do any further damage.
Looking for someone that has done it and can tell me you know : Plug the jig into the board and do this-this-and this...
Any help appreciated, thanks.

I have only done it once on a 452. But it is the same for most toshiba's.
Power off machine.
insert jig to space on sys pwb
hold (I am not sure) 5 + 9 down while powering on
let process run (15minutes or so)
power off
remove jig
power on and check operation
flash to latest firmware using usb

If this requires 2 jigs then either they both connect at same time in different spots(right next to each other) or you run the steps twice once with one jig then the other jig.

I would suggest doing the recovery one Jig at a time if you require two Jigs, but from memory, you shouldn't need to do use two any more.

The process is as Mr. Spock said, but the only thing I remember differently is that you need to hold 8+9 and power on the machine rather than 5+9. An easy way to figure this out for sure is to have a look at the Service Handbook.
