Yes, but with caveats.
If the device shows FA00, the controller is still responding. This means you have a 50–70% chance of reviving it using Alcor’s proprietary mass production tools (MPTools). However:
| Action | Outcome | |--------|---------| | Disable device | Hides error, stops driver searches. | | Uninstall device → reboot | Windows re-detects, may reinstall correct driver. | | System Restore to earlier date | Reverts driver changes. | | Ignore | If no functionality is missing, it’s likely an unused internal device. |
Check OS device manager / system info
Identify VID/PID
Install or update drivers
Use manufacturer tools
Recover data before risky operations
Reformat or reinitialize
Seek replacements if hardware-failed
If you are comfortable with Registry edits, you can force Windows to treat the FA00 device as a standard USB hub. alcor micro unknown fa00 - f w 3613
Warning: Back up your registry first.
This forces the USB stack to bypass modern container ID queries, allowing the legacy USBSTOR driver to bind.
