Update firmware is necessary to update some features that did not exist at time of product on the market or to correct some bugs, these bugs can occur because of very rapid launching products on the market or because immature firmware versions.
Many of you may have noticed the unit's optics some small problems, for example a few years ago my optical drive ASUS DVD-RW burn, but DVD + RW, the problem we solve it through a firmware update at the DVD RW optical drive.
The method presented in this video tutorial is valid for Samsung optical drives but the procedure may be similar (not identical) for several models, from different manufacturers, Samsung optical drives are recognized by Device Manager as "TSST Corp", do not be surprised if you do not see any inscription with the Samsung brand, even though you bought Samsung.
For complete safety throughout the firmware update, it is advisable to use a backup source for UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), if you know that you have problems with power supply, if you do not have problems with power is not it is absolutely necessary to use a UPS, however it does not take long to update the firmware of the optical drive.

  9. ms long, I have a question for a driver cd for lg yum could give iauw site where you can sal

  10. Hi there!
    I don't know, I think with joy, about the novel - this tutorial - I have encountered a situation these days and I want to know if anyone has been hit by it and what it could be.
    Specifically, I receive a PC that would have a potentially defective hard drive, because at installation it gives "insufficient space", 20gb hard drive. I put it in the optical drive ... the DVD_RW-Samsung top, the CD with Hiren, with the intention of checking / llf / partition, hard drive. That CD I just made, it's relatively new and it worked on all my PCs so far..but on this one, it doesn't boot..Well, the optical drive will be taken, I'll take another one Hiren and I try to boot… the same thing, that is nothing..I take out all the cables, boards, I leave only dvd and I try to boot .. nothing..I think, it will be a bios virus that I have been hearing about..and I do it quickly a floppy disk and I update the bios… after which I try to boot again from the cd..nothing..I changed a few optical drives, the IDE / SATA controllers, and nothing..In the end, I put that cd in another pc, no more I opened the cd again and I conclude that the cd failed and I was trying to boot from it..even if there were not many reasons for failure, it was new, written at low speed ..
    Another anomaly was that I started on a powermax floppy, hard drive and I visited, but the tests and trying to low level format, gave me the hardware is irreparably damaged and must be replaced .. I tried their utility and dedicated from Seagate, the same lucru.Vreau to mention that I especially PowerMax revived dozens of hard drives regardless of brand ..
    Using another optical drive, I booted xpsp3, I never took into account errors and installed, but by mistake I put the system on D instead of C.. Okay, say you installed .. and thought of so many attempts something happened and go .. try to boot sp3 same but the optical drive of your PC .. and you go .. Rapid optical drive and put one on which I installed, and ditto .. no Taking impression we go .. "deja vu" .. check sp3 CD on another PC .. and not seeing him at all .. just like the one with Hiren before .. Ok for this CD were same company, I said that maybe somehow we can be spoiled or I wanted to heat or are of poor quality, and I tried sp2 ... which in my optical drive boot made in original optical drive did not work, and put everything in my unit stopped working, so I experience this "cost" 3 CDs ..
    I mention that I put the DVD w7 on the original unit has booted but did not go further
    after restart never booted nor any w7, but another surprise .. check dvd drive is still valid ..
    And mentioned that I looked to see if somehow those units scratched CDs but are in "perfect condition", just can not read ..: D
    So in conclusion somehow that unit destroys CDs .. but how? What could it be? a defect or virus to activate write and overwrite cd?'s possible?

    • Neagh: Howdy!
      I do not know, mind to mind cubucurie,'s novel - this tutorial I met a situatiesi these days want to know if anyone has ever hurt her and that might be ..
      Specifically, they say get a PC that would have potentially faulty hardware because the installer gives "space insufien" hard to 20gb.Pun in DVD_RW-height optical drive .. Samsung ulcu Hiren CD, intending to check / LLF / partition, cd hardul.Acel only what I do, it's relatively new and I went on all PCs so far .. but this does not boots .. They have taken an optical drive, get another place Hiren and attempt to boot ... same thing, that nothing .. remove all the cables, motherboards, let alone DVD and try to boot .. nothing .. I think a have a BIOS virus which I have heard .. and do a quick update bios ... disk and then attempt to boot from the CD again .. nothing .. I changed some optical drives, controllers IDE / SATA, and nothing .. Finally, put that CD in another PC, do not place the CD opens and concludes that the CD was damaged and I try to boot it .. even if too were reasons of failure was again posted low speed ..
      Another anomaly was that I started on a powermax floppy, hard drive and I visited, but the tests and trying to low level format, gave me the hardware is irreparably damaged and must be replaced ..

      Yes it is possible, and should not necessarily be a virus! It is possible that the optical drive is defective have been damaged, hit, smashed, shattered, and have suffered a shock or that have shoved a broken CD and CD deformations to be moved or dezacsat laser beam focusing lens making the laser focus and concentration them to be higher than normal when reading and thus remove or simply burn the data are on CD.

        I checked w7 dvd .. and go, so the guy did not crashed .. it seems to be selectively destroy only cd dvd.Ar not deserve a firmware update? Of course if you say mechanical failure, nothing but him fix ..
        It's hard to believe that a shock might increase the power range, usually opposite happens ..

  11. I do not know if it has anything to do with the optical drive, but I did update the bios because speed and CPU cooler was over 5000 rpm.Dupa update, same speed, I put another cooler, so I do not think it's normal to be so .. mention that after installation the system works normally without any problems.
    The temperature sensor could be turned upside down, it should "believe" that the processor is "burning" and it should have that speed from the start… anyway I have not encountered such situations until now .. in this case I think the board is defective the base..

  12. very good tutorialu now I have a question I first installed the driver had an older version on Windows 7 not be able to burn only CDs DVD + those DVDs I no longer go now I hope I can burn on the minus, now installed in the BIOS and driver to be permanently installed or every reinstallation of Windows need to install driver dvd-rom

    • nicolasVery good tutorialu now I have a question I first installed the driver had an older version on Windows 7 not be able to burn only CDs DVD + those DVDs I no longer go now I hope I can burn on those with less, now installed in the BIOS and driver to be permanently installed or every reinstallation of Windows need to install driver dvd-rom  

      Driver's driver and firmware is firmware. Firmware is a deviceului minibios of the driver is not the same! And installed in flash memory from CD-ROM is not in BIOS! So how many times can you reinstall Windows because the firmware is stored on the device.

    • nicolas:

      I'll try to clarify. The "firmware" mentioned in this tutorial is actually the "bios" of a device, a set of instructions that coordinate the operation of the components of that device. Firmware has almost any device that is common, mobile phone , cd-rom, mp3 player..even the washing machines..Ok, so this firmware is stored somewhere in a memory of that device and if it is updated, it is kept even if you move the device, in your case dvd-rw on another pc..drivers are another story completely different from the firmware, respectively “tell” an operating system how to work with that device…

    Answer Congratulations to those who gave an answer, because I have this problem myself on Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST, which is exactly the same problem, you put a CD in Windows XP SP3, I booted him CD, if they put a DVD with Windows 7, I booted it and upload it but the problem is the optical drive and no hard drive, nor the motherboard, but the problem is my fault because I downloaded the Official website for the optical drive Asus.com a program called E-Hammer Utility that fact, they say it destroys CDs, DVDs, with a certain laser intensity, that He May Make an outline on CD or DVD at the beginning of the CD or DVD, where to start burning, and that's why I say that I was decalibrated were Dezstabilizat concentration Laser laser were knocking on disc , and I say that because it's broken, for me to help me with some advice, have an idea is well received by e-mail [email protected]
