How to unbrick a 9280-16i4e?

[Sniper_X]

I have a firmware checksum - needs reflashing error at boot.

I have seen unbricking walkthroughs for other cards, just haven't found one for the 9280-16i4e.

Can someone asist with a pointer to a good step-by-step unbrick process?

I'm now on day two of trying to get this 9280-16i4e card back to operation.
I have another that is fine, so I would be happy to extract the flash contents and write them to the problematic card.

It seems that every time I find a utility (DOS or EFI), the utility doesn't work, or it doesn't see the card.

I have other good, working cards (like a 9260-8i) that I have from upgrading to the 9280-16i4e card.
SAS2FLASH.EFI and sas2flsh.exe both also say "No adapter found".

I have used MEGAREC in DOS and it sees the card, but throws a "Warning! IO Base address high. Currently not supported."

I'm in a real bind here and would LOVE some help from those that know the "alchemy" required to get this sorted.

Any of you out there?

Wiping the and completely reflashing the card with Megarec in DOS (completely wiping it) brought it back to its factory IR (raid) state.
I also found out what bricked it - but that will go into the thread I started regarding the original issue.
