Sony doesn't make their own drives,they outsource them. Liteon made a lot of them,benq made some others.. If your pc tells you it's a Litey,then it's probably a litey.

All my firmware sites didn't list the DRU 830A and the Liteon 1635S is listed on that drive.

What's the current firmware version of that sony burner?

Neroinfotool can tell you. If you don't have that,here's a free program that will tell you actual burner brand name,model#,and current firmware version:

Did you flash any firmware updates or crossflash the firmware for that sony burner?


Let us know what the firmware version is and we'll tell you what drive you have.

Edit: I did some more searching,and it may be a Toshiba/Samsung drive with the Mediatek chipset.

Post back the current firmware version.
