Hello all, I'm back ! I'm looking 4 a Firmware to flash a Sony DVD RW DRU-190A
I've been to phpBB The Firmware Page, codeguys, but can't seem to find it. Somewhere at CDFreaks I read that it could be flashed with Liteon 20A3P fw XP5Z. Which I found, but I would appreciate some sort of confirmation. As I trust everybody at this site. Have yet to be steered wrong

ROFL!!! Sounds like Poltergeist!!!! :)
rick it's a DH-20A3P no doubt about it. ;)
You should be able to go to CDF and find the 20A3P thread w/o issues. ;) There will be some "patched" f/w by C0deKing that will "cross-flash" your drive. You may have to d/l some of the other "lite-on" utilities for the cross-flash. ;) You will need to go to Winds "test" f/w page to get the "un-official" f/w for the DH-20A3P. The last one seems to be really good btw. ;)
good luck... ;)

I would go ahead and get them all just to have them on hand. ;) You never know when you'll need them. ;)
DH-20A3P (CDF page)
Wind's 4share page (C0deKing gives a link as well)
There's some "instruction" available at the Freaks if you need pictures. ;) Helps me. lol. Anyway you'll want to try and "save" the eeprom if it will let you. Next the xflash might be needed or if not the "flasher" will do what you need for a f/w flash. ;) The settings utility is nice because it basically combines the Smartburn utility and the book-type/bitset utility. ;)
All I can say is make sure you got the right f/w and the drive is what you think it is. ;) If not you can "brick" it...
....gm
add: btw the f/w from the Wind d/l page comes ready to flash... ;)
hth..... :D

greensman: U say the Wind's 4share page this is the best site as its ready to flash. But their are 8 different firmwares, how do I tell which one I need, also does that mean all the other tools are not needed too flash the drive.That it will automatically install on its own. I'm just a dumb as! Also what the heck is Brick it

Indeed, to 'brick' something means you turn it into something no more useful than a brick.

Hi guys, my new pc is going great, thanks again for all your help in choosing the parts - i have just one more quick question lol!
What is the best headset to get for gaming?
I don't mind if it is a bit expensive, i want something with decent sound quality. Thanks :)

That's a tricky one, I was never impressed with the audio quality of headsets (and I've had a few), so I use headphones and a desk mic, much to the annoyance of all the people I speak to on skype, due to all the static. Essentially, anything by Sennheiser.

Eva why would you want to use a headset unless you're doing this late at night and don't want to wake the rest of the household?? ;)
I've had good luck with Labtec, but I'm not a gamer. lol. :) I think that Sammy, Boozer, spamual, and Eustansis could answer that question quite nicely. :D So get to answering boys... ;P

A bit cheaper than what I'd recommend. Logitech make good stuff, but something that cheap is never going to be great.

I don't know gm, i told u before i haven't got a clue about any of this stuff.
My son just wants to be able to talk to the guys on his forums, and i wouldn't mind being able to use skype myself, if i ever get near the new computer! lol!
So any suggestions gratefully appreciated. :)

Yeah, they should be fine. I know Sennheiser are known for their expensive gear, but I have one of their cheapest sets and they're fabulous.

Sam, haha, I know it's horrible and I know I gripe about it. I still use it though, because I don't feel like spending money on another one. It works. That's all I need from it.

As an owner of a 10 quid Labtec desk mic from Maplin, I can empathise with that!
