DW-D56A DVD-RW Drive Problem

[Griffith]

Hello, I own a Vaio FS115z with a DW-D56A DVD drive. It worked perfectly, until I decided to use the flash update tool Sony had for download and now I can't burn DVDs without closing them, in other words, DVDs end up useless after being burned once.

The current version is PFS2-6, is there any way to revert it back, a tool or something?

I forgot to mention that the Drive is Sony brand.

I don't know. But I'm sure that you need the old Firmware.

But first, I would download the Firmware from VAIO-Link. Then reinstall it again.

If it not work, then you should contact your reseller for a repair within warranty.

I can't flash it back to the old version.

Hi

I would contact VAIO-Link, looks like the flash went horribly wrong

[Griffith]

I would send them an e-mail, if their service was up...

I'm getting a really bad impression of Sony for my first time buying one of their laptops.

Did you go through eSupport on their VAIO-Link homepage?

[Griffith]

I can't register on e-Support, I get their e-mail saying that I need to click a link to finish, but the link doesn't have an href it just has a:

click here

this keeps getting worse by the day...

Right click that link and click on copy shortcut
Open IE and paste it into the address bar and hit return or click on go.

But it has no link, it links to nowhere it doesn't have an href.
