Can anyone point me to a download site for the ORIGINAL firware for this drive? Although data & audio CD's still work fine, it's lost the ability to read DVD's. Sony has been as much help as a rubber crutch.
I would sugget you to read this post on 'Firmware-Flash Forum' http://forum.firmware-flash.com/viewtopic.php?t=537 to detect if you did something wrong/irreversible Most of the stuff they link is located here: http://etna.rpc1.org/mt/index.html Another link, should some listed above were broken, is this one: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=180 You'll find al these firmwire versions: SONY DDU1621 S1xx (16x/40x) S1.3 S1.5 S1.6 S1.7 SONY DDU1621 S2xx (16x/40x) S2.7 S2.9 (Untested) SONY DDU1621 S3xx (16x/40x) S3.1 (Untested)
And use a simple tool to flash your drive right from your desktop called MTKFLASH Win IDE Mode. Shoey
