Problem with TS-L532B firmware upgrade to DE04

[ankitj]

I was facing problem with burning CD-Rs with my DVD-RW drive and looking up the web suggested me to upgrade its firmware.

 

I upgraded my TSST DVD-RW TS-L532B DE03 to DE04 firmware. My notebook is Dell Inspiron 6400 and I downloaded the DE04 from Dell Support site.

 

However, after the firmware upgrade, the drive is no longer opening any CDs. It shows in the explorer, gets installed and uninstalled; but doesnot run any CDs. Please help me with this.

 

I have already tried removing the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry key as suggested my a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

approach dell and ask them to swap the drive as they are prone to just stop working

 

try removing the controller and reboot and try with another brand of cd as well

 

 

make sure you rebooted after firmware upgrade as well
