Magician - Secure Erase - Frozen State

Samsung Magician says that my drive is in a “frozen state” when I try to perform a Secure Erase in Dos mode. What can I do?

If you run into the ‘Frozen state’ message during a secure erase, unplug the SATA power cable from the SSD, wait a few seconds, and plug it in again without turning the PC power off. Type “SEGUI0.exe” at the command prompt to run the Magician DOS utility again. Execute secure erase again.
