Hey, I have the same drive as that one: Quote: HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS31N:
Firmware Revision: TA17
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh
And I would like to know if I could get acces to any region free firmware. I would also like to know how to undo the flashing or how to reflash with the original firmware in case I ever need to use my apple care.

I'm also looking for the patched firmware for:
Vendor: HL-DT-ST
Model : DVDRW GS31N
Firmware: TA17
Status: RPC-2 (region locked)
After reading previous posts it seems a patch was sent to members by PM but has yet to be posted in the data base. If anyone can help get the patched firmware to me it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Also, mods, after reading through these posts, it seems that if I do get a PM, I will not be able to read it since I just joined the board. Can my PM function be activated?
Best!
