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

Flashing firmware can be dangerous. If you don't use the correct firmware, don't follow correct procedure or have a power cut in the middle of the process, you will have a bad flash and the drive will be dead. The above instructions are given in good faith but you flash firmware at your own risk. Good luck.

Most of the stuff they link is located here:

Another link, should some listed above were broken, is this one:

You'll find al these firmwire versions:

And use a simple tool to flash your drive right from your desktop called MTKFLASH Win IDE Mode.
