  1. Identify the chip. Open Device Manager → Universal Serial Bus devices. If you see AU87101A, proceed.
  2. Download the correct UFDisk version. This is the hardest part. You need a version matching your flash die type (usually MLC or TLC). Look for AlcorMP or UFDisk_MP on vintage driver sites.
  3. Run as Admin. Disable antivirus (these tools often use kernel-level drivers).
  4. Settings. In the tool, you usually have to click "Setup" → uncheck "Auto detect" → manually select the AU87101A profile.
  5. Start. Press "Space" or "Start" (the UI varies wildly). If you see a green circle, you have 30 seconds of hope. If you see red, the NAND is dead.
