Hi all. Im a noob to DL burning. Im not quite clear about your advice for updating firmware. I have a brand new Optiarc AD-7240S writer & have burned 3 or 4 'back up' Xbox 360 games successfully. But recently im getting a "Power Calibration Area Error". After searching this forum & seeing the advice on Firmware upgrades for dvd drives ive seen my one has Version 1.04 now listed. My drives firmware is 1.02. So im guessing i need to upgrade it. Can you confirm this is correct please ? Also will it effect the warranty on the drive once it's upgraded ? Im puzzled that it burned the first 3 or 4 disc no problem but now i keep getting the same error message.
Many thanks for your time.
