mtkflash 1 w /b name.bin

mtkflash.exe = executable
1= primary master
w = write
/b = bin file
name.bin = is the firmware bin file

My liteon CDRW died once. I took it out and let it sit on my desk for 2 weeks. When I decided it was time to open it up and fiddle with it, I stuck it back in first to see what would happen and it worked. Been fine since.

There, now you don't have to post your secret revive spell.

this is only a fix for a bad flash?

Not a fix for the drive blinking green while cds are in...but not playing them...?

when my DVD drive is doing the blinking light and not playing thing, i've found it's almost always a dirty lens. a quick pass with a CD drive cleaner disk, and it's good to go for another round of dirty DVD rentals.

I think I've tried that before, I'll try it again though
