cornholio7 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 where did you get that firmware? it looks nothing like the ones for your burner. check here http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1818 when i had an 832 lite-on it was only rated as 8x check your firmware- see if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornholio7 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 well if it has been burning fast with that firmware on it then you must have dma problems. look at this and be sure to delete your controller and re-boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 i was gonna reformatt will that help or no and where do i get vsom and i was wondering if you know how all out of the blue this would just start burning at 2.4 i didnt do anything no downloads or anything thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 you can get VSOM from the link i posted in post #6. re-formatting is a bit drastic if everything else is ok. is it just these discs that show 2.4x max or is it the same with other discs?

Grain Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 i tried VSOM and its saying error no match drive detected this utility is only for lite on dvdrw sohw-832s drive then it says detected drives 0-0-0-0-E lite on dvdrw sohw-832s VTS3 Pretty sure that's saying your drive is OEM. In order to flash it with 832 firmware (which is what your trying to do by the way w/ VSOM) you'll probably need to use FlashFix or something like it to get it to work. In essence you'd be converting it to a stock Liteon 832. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
