after seeing all the stuff about flashing the firmware on liteon drive to upgrade them, i was wondering...

could i flash the firmware on my toshiba dvd/cd-rw combo sd-r1002 to make it a dvd writer?

theoreticallay, since it can heat the laser hot enough to burn a cd, couldn't it heat the surface of a dvd to do the same? and b/c it can read dvds, it knows the laser wavelength for the dvd format.

Coreect me if im wrong.
