    [Dead] Toshiba E Studio 453 HDD data not found

    Hey everyone. New to this site so I apologize if the answer to my question is somewhere in the threads.
    I'm working on a Toshiba E Studio 453. I am getting the "HDD data not found" message. I am pretty sure the hard drive was wiped clean by the previous owner. I went through the [c][3] and deleted and created a new partition and it initialized fine. I cannot access the [0][8] setting mode probably because the hard drive needs to be reformatted. I have a USB storage device but no clue where to get the firmware/file/update/formatting material I need to get this thing running. I have read on another thread talking about this type of problem to download it from "baphomet aka copier guru."
    Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You!

      Hello everyone,

      I’m new to the forum and I hope I'm posting in the right place.

      I’m currently working on a Toshiba e-Studio 452, and I need a working or clean dump file (.bin) for the AT24C01A EEPROM located on the main board.

      There is no specific error on the machine, but I want to reprogram the EEPROM to reset all previous data and start fresh. I have the tools to read/write the chip (MiniPro TL866), but I couldn’t find a reliable dump file online.

      If anyone has a backup of a working dump or a clean version (128 bytes .bin file), I’d really appreciate it if you could share it.

      Thank you in advance for your help!
