As there is a Apple Service Program regarding the SSD Firmware in the A1708 Non-TouchBar-MacBook Pros [https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-solid-state-drive-service|13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Solid-State Drive Service Program], I was wondering, if there is any way to do this Firmware upgrade yourself.[br]

Since this Apple Service Program is only valid 3 years after purchase, most machines will probably not be eligible for it anymore. [br]

When I read the text from apple correctly, it is just an issue with the firmware on the SSD - it reads: “A technician will run a utility to update your drive firmware which will take approximately one hour or less.” So it should be possible to do it yourself, even if you might lose all you data in the process.[br]

But since I could not find anything so far, I would like to ask you guys, if you know how or where to get the firmware upgrade for these SSDs.
