Dead Matshita UJ 845S - any Chance to revive it? - Club CDFreaks

Wittgenstein · 12-08-2006

Im facin troubles with my Matshita UJ 845S...i've flashed it to death with matshitas win-flasher

funny thing is it still insers and ejects discs and the led is flashing some time when inserting a disc; the drive is located at secondary master; neither windows nor bios gets the drive; no success with mtkflash and winmtkflash...don't think the drive is compatible with those tools...the drive is in built in a gericom notebook;

any chances to bring it back to life...

Wittgenstein · 12-08-2006

i really don't get it...just had another try with winflash...the drive was back!! fully funtional...could read cd-rom...and listened to a audio cd...then i rebooted and the drive was dead again !?! what the hell is going on there...
can anybody explain this to me...i'll have another try...at least it obviously is possible to revive

Wittgenstein · 12-08-2006

finally the drive is working again...very happy bout that; i've flashed it first with mtkwinflash so windows recognized the drive again; then used the matshita official flasher; now the drive is recognozed by bios and windows again...no more flashing adventurs next time

Hi Wittgenstein, Could you tell give me some more info about the Mashita flasher, I did'nt know one existed. I have the UJ-840D and its locked and I've been trying to fix it for ages. Cheers

Forget it!

Locked is locked.

@ohmss007

you'll find the firmware...including flasher (ldmulti...winflasher, dwl2 dos based flasher) at the firmware page; http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php; look for your drive in the download firmware section; still don't know if it does work for you; be careful with useless flashing

just facing anothe problem with my mathita uj 845s; the drive is reconized in windows and bios; works in udma mode 4; it reads dvds, cd-roms and cd-audio; but doesn't burn correctly; i've reinstalled nero 7 several times, sometimes the burning works out fine at 8x, most times writing stops at 8% or something; tried different disks, no difference; in bios BOTH - harddisk and dvd-ram - primary master and secondary master are displayed using fpio 4/ dma 2; does this evoke some kind of hardware-conflict...can i change this?

Ultra DMA Mode 2 is okay.
If the burn process stops a lot I would still guess bad or incompatible media.
Try some Verbs or TYs!

I'm also having some burning troubles with my laptop.
Seems after i reflashed the drive using D100 from rpc1.org
I cannot burn DvDs, DL DVDs, and CDs. However, i am able to
watch DVDs and Listen to CDs. I own an Matshita uj-845s. Anyone
got any suggestions?

I'm also using very high quality media. Currently the only media
that sells DL im the US. Fujifilm. :P

i flashed mt gericom Matshita UJ 845S with an exe (I got from http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.ph...&manufactor=18) d102. My system will not boot anymore. I suspect that I might have flashed it as a master drive. I there any possiblity of flashing the old firmware back. How can I do this.

Wittgenstein · 24-08-2006

disconnect the drive from the system, so you can boot again; then try to flash with winmktflash taking the RIGHT bin file, depending on the configuration of your drive; with the firmware comes a txt/info file that tells you the right bin file to flash with; when not sure about your configuration take a look at the ide configuration in bios

Wittgenstein · 24-08-2006

btw. i'm still having burning problems; changing media and reinstalling nero (after deinstalling using the cleaning tool) didn't solve the problem...anymore ideas?

The only high quality DL is Verbatim.
Fuji's Ritek media is lame.

You have flashed a WRONG firmware.

Your only chance is by using a slimline adaptor or trying the pin soldering trrick...

You got a Gericom ... the firmware is for TOSHIBA-notebooks!

The Toshiba firmware is not performing that well on my system either

So how can I get the right firmware for my IBM T23?
Is it possible to flash the firmware back to D100?
The flash utility is not accepting any of the three .BIN I got from http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.ph...&manufactor=18

I don't get any information out of the BIOS - there's no drive listed at all.

Who can help?
There's not a single firmware for IBM NB at http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.ph...&manufactor=18

Thanks.
weeed

BTW - if I try to flash the 845D101.exe a message "target drive not connected" appears

On the top of the drive is a sticker with all info.
