It’s Like a Lite that Turned On My Sony…

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.
