WoW that's fast! Thanks for the links.By the way Work with 8480B but still just 1 light.

freestyle · 26-01-2003

Can you flash it back to 8481B? How would you go about it, just getting the regular firmware off the korean site? thx

farookh · 27-01-2003

No you cant flash it back with the original kor firmware.

you have to make a backup of the firmware using Mtkflash if you ever want to go back.

hmm have a strange minor prob

nero cd speed detects all my blank cd-r and cd-rw as 32 min after i tested with data cd which still detects well. i tried going back to old firmware still shows 32:00 min.

Pontifice · 27-01-2003

I have the same problem but without updating the firmware, don't worry

freestyle · 27-01-2003

mtkflash not working with Lg GCE 8481B

farookh · 30-01-2003

Dont see ne reason why

make sure you use the one in the zip file with the W /M /B command to write the new firmware

they probably use the same one for some Lite-ON models, but it doesn't in any way mean that the firmwares are interchangeable...
