I’ve been having some trouble with my cheap DVD burner that I bought from NewEgg a year ago. It wouldn’t burn DVDs at slower speeds than the advertised media and it seemed to screw up a bunch of my DVDs. So until 10 minutes ago I had a Sony DVD RW DW-D22A DVD Rom Drive.
What happened?
It turns out that Sony rebrands LiteOn drives. The model I have was the same as a LiteOn S0HW-1633S. It also turns out you can flash it with a newer firmware: http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html#SOHW-1653S To make it an even NEWER drive that supports 12x burning.
I did it. It’s working. Good thing the drive was only $39 on sale.
You’re tho thmart.
Adam & Heather,
Like both of you web sites, seems like it takes lot of time. Thank you for letting us in on your life. What happen to the Pt Crusier, you said it burned?
