Before you get bald, a firmware update might solve your problems.

mpg1965 · 04-02-2004

can i ask you with what version i should update it with.

ajz · 04-02-2004

In the meantime, many may agree that firmware V0043 is one of the stablest releases. In fact, I'm still using V0043.

I suggest you update to v0047 or v0049 beta. I'm using v0049 right now and I burn almost everything perfectly! And it also supports bitsetting!

mpg1965 · 04-02-2004

ok guys thanks alot but just one more question is there any difference with the btc 1004 and the pikaone 1004

anarki · 04-02-2004

No differences...it's exactly the same drive!

mpg1965 · 04-02-2004

mpg1965 · 05-02-2004

mpg1965 · 07-02-2004

ive still been having problems so i went to the shop and swapped the drive for a new 1(number 3)and even tho its got a manurfactured date off november 03 its still got the 0040 firmware.anyway i set about messing up this drive and tried all the 8 different firmwares ive got and found that 0043 works with my 2x +r 4x+r and my dvd+rw.hope someone gets a bit of help from this.................mike
