Need Firmware for Optical Drive

MC1175 · 07-19-2008, 06:10 PM

Can't find it anywhere except in a bin file format, and I don't know how to update it with the bin.

My drive is a TSSTCorp CD/DVDW TS-H552L from an HP Pavilion A1226N

I tried looking for the original firmware (and hopefully an update for it) on the HP site and on the Drivers page for my computer (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...1153954&dlc=da)

Firmwhere? Help?

Be warned, a firmware update can easily render your drive useless if you do not follow the instructions carefully, are 100% sure you have the correct revision and have sufficient knowledge of updating firmware.

Instructions on how to use a BIN file are explained here...

Unless your drive is having or causing serious problems, updating your firmware is not advised.

I just reinstalled the drivers from device manager, and I also think that this had to do with this my other problem with my drive at this topic

([SOLVED] E:/ is not accessable and no recording tab)

When I changed the value in my registry. Now I cant read any disk and this is getting really weird. I wan to go back to the previous registry save but I'm not sure where my program saves it. Ill try to find out.

Hi, your old Registry entries will have been saved in My Documents.
If you can't find them, do a System Restore to when it was all working perfectly.
(You'll have to reinstall any programs you've installed since that date, but your personal files are not touched).
