I have a Sony DWU14A.
It only seems to work when I use DVD+R.
When I try to copy with DVD-R it throws up errors and refuses to burn. It will not burn CDRs.
I am using trial copies of Alcohol 120 % and DVD Xcopy express any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a link to convert the DWU14A 's firmware to a DRU510A firmware?
Is there a link to convert it back?

Has anyone done this?

I have seen links to convert the DWU10A to a DRU500A, so it must be possible.

Here is the location for the firmware.Use at your own risk!!! There are no guarantees that flashing will not make matters worse and it will definitely void any existing warranty.

With regard to the DWU14A. I went to the American Sony site and found some test software for the DVD RW. It said it was only for USA and Canadian citizens. but I downloaded it and when it asked for a name and address I used one from some software that I had. When I ran the test it showed the drive to be faulty so I sent it back and got a replacement.
Hope this is of help to you

I have flashed my drive to a DRU-510A. It works great with specific media. Namely, Sony,Verbatim & TDK (-R) DVD's. I had purchased one box of Memorex & one box of FujiFilm 4X -R disks. I could not get them to burn, I thought it was the drive, but it turned out to be the expensive media. I have been burning on 2X TDK disks and have not had a probelm; Other than it taking longer. I called Sony and they said they have had problems with the Memorex brand. This was a easy fix, to bad I didn't know this before purchasing first two boxes of DVD's.
