I have an Acer E380 computer with a "HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H21N" optical drive. I'd like to update the firmware from 1.00, but all I can find is firmware for a Dell OEM. When I try to use that, it says, "mismatched", so obviously it won't work with an Acer. Does anyone know where to get firmware for this Acer OEM drive?

Thanks,
John

Unfortunately, that is for the Dell OEM and will not work with the Acer OEM for some reason. I've searched Google and can't find any that work with this drive. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
John

My ACER T180 contained a DVD drive withe the following details:

HL-DT-ST-DVD+-RW GSA-H21N RPC2

I couldn't find a RPC1 firmware upgrade, so I flashed with the following:

HL-DT-ST-DVDRAM GSA-H22N 1.01 RPC1

Everything appears to be working OK. No region protection and read / writes to DVDRAM.
