The problem with this, is after replacing the Malfunctioning or Corrupted drive that will not solve the problem.

The device still will not run if there’s no Software or Firmware installed onto the new drive.

Can iFixit include that procedure of getting the new drive running.

Because you cannot clone a corrupt or bad drive .
