    URGENT HELP!! Please

    Hi!!!

    I hope you´re having a merry X-mas!!

    Well, it´s x-mas day and I decided to venture on with the intallation of the patched FIRMWARE for my DVD and I miserably FAILED!!!!

    I have a Toshiba with a Toshiba DVD C2505-1313 player
    I found the Firmware (flash) file and decided to execute it today.

    I created a DOS boot disk and everything was right.

    I started the vup100k 1313.hex process and at the end I got the message:

    Comparisson: error no stop/eject ...something like that.

    So I rebooted and now my DVD just won´t even start. In fact it opens alright, but 3 sec. after I close it (no matter if empty or with a DVD in it) it REOPENS!!!!

    Not even a hint of it trying to read at all.

    I was truly hoping someone could give me a big hand in such desperate moments!!!!

    Thank you in advance.

      I'm afraid it sounds like you've done a bad flash on your drive, meaning it's probably knackered, so your only real option is to try a different firmware (the original if possible) or buy a new drive!

      Good Luck!

          Make 100% sure that the firmware you are using is exactly the same one for your drive (sometimes a drive model number can look similar, eg. SD-1010a and SD-1010b).

          Also make sure you do not have any discs in the drive when you are updating the firmware.

                  Just go on to Google and search for "The Firmware Page" It's should be one of the first results

                  Good Luck!

                      Haooy new year!!!

                      Hi!!

                      Thank you very much for your imput!!!

                      I visited the page today... they took out the SD-2502-X313 because of a bug thing... and there´s no trace of the SD-2502-1313 which is the precise firmware for me (which I used for the bad flash) They released it a few months ago and I d/l it... I had it waiting until recently, but I guess it didn´t work either and that´s why it´s gone for the moment... so I´ll guess I´ll have to wait until they figure that one out....

                      A good thing though; I found the new version for Driveinfo (2.1) which works ok now... it displays my DVD driver as NOT REGION PROTECTED!!!!! It´s great... but it just keeps bumping my DVD open without any options....

                      Anyway... it´s just a few hours now until the new year beginns and I wish you the very best!!!

                      Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon.
