With the fear that this may kill my LiteOn SHW-1635S, i thought i had better double check that all there is to updating the burners firmware is to
- Download latest firmware (Check)
- Close all windows applications, virus scans, firewall etc.
- Click on .exe file and follow instructions
- Reboot after all is done
This may not be necessary with yours but better read the instructions on the manufacturer's website for your particular burner !
Most firmware update on burners are done AFTER you have move the burner to your Secondary channel as a master with NOTHING connected to the secondary !
select the last number YSOV thats the latest version for your burner.
MAKE SURE there is nothing in the drive, the power will not go out (you know, dont do it in a lightning storm kinda stuff)
click the YSOV, download the .rar file, you will need something like WinRAR to open it, then follow the instructions.. its realy simple, make sure you select YOUR/THAT drive.... and click ok, it only takes like a minute to update...
very easy... may require a re boot, then your set..
