[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1807144, member: 56379"] Probably not. As you can see in the Apple document related to this issue (linked below)...it mentions: "[I]A technician will run a utility to update your drive firmware which will take approximately one hour or less.[/I]" [U]In order to do this yourself...you would need: [/U] - The "utility" the Apple technicians use (probably not easy or impossible to get). - And you would need a copy of the updated firmware (probably not easy or impossible to get). [URL]https://www.apple.com/support/13-inch-macbook-pro-solid-state-drive-service-program/[/URL] Hopefully there's an Apple Store not too far from you. Much better to have Apple do it.:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
