AmiloM 1439G Philips SDVD8431 Problems

Beitragvon virensaxena » 06.02.2006 12:28

Hello,

I am an owner of Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo1439G Laptop
with a Philips DVD+-RW SDVD8431 DVD drive.

I have problem that my drive does not read the DVDs it writes. The same DVDs runs on other PCs and DVD players. Also my DVD drive can read some DVDs burned on other machines, but there is not consistency in this too. I have tried using all combinations of DVDs like +R and -R of cheap ebay quality and as well as Branded ones like Philips and Verbatim. But i could not reach any conclusion. I use the latest Nero Version and the CD read write works absolutely fine.

I had called up the service centre and the support person suggested me to update the 'firmware'. However, while he was explaining me how to update the firm ware, the phone got cut and I couldnt get the line back. I called them again and they could not help me much.

Can You please help me by telling if the correct solution for the problem is to update the firmware. Also tell me how I should do it. Which fimware I need to update to and related details.

I Read some comments in the forum ‘ SDVD 8431 - Fact Finding mission!’. As suggested I have downloaded the LX51 firmware but I am a bit hesitant to run it as I haven’t done any such thing before. Also will updating the firmware have any effects on my warranty.

Please guide me with this problem.

I also request you to please reply in English as I know very basic German.

Hello

You can create a new thread on amilo-forum.de in english, that's no problem.
Because I don't have the SDVD8431 drive I can't tell you exactly how to
update your firmware. In general you have to unpack the file, then you
either get a windows executable (I think that's the case with LX51) or a
DOS program.
The windows executable can be run in windows, you should deactivate
antivirus programs etc. before. After updating a restart should be all
you need.
You don't risk your warranty because the support has told you to update
your firmware - at least that's an information other forum members got
when they asked FSC.

Regards
Aaron
