Just create a shortcut of the utility.
Right click on it and select properties.
Look for target box.
You should see something similar.
"C:\Users\Anybody\Desktop\Dell patches\sfdnwin.exe"
Right at the end of it add -nocheck
"C:\Users\Anybody\Desktop\Dell patches\sfdnwin.exe" -nocheck
Click ok. Run the shortcut and you should see the nocheck highlighted at the top left corner of the utility GUI.

Hi,
I have the same drive in a Dell E520 computer.
Drive Info says its TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653A D300
Is it possible to flash using sfdnwin.exe and nocheck parameter as described for the D400 revision?
PS Has this worked for anyone out there?
Thanks,
Lucasimo

Hi,
In the previous posts, it mentions that you can cross flash the TSST H653A D300 to the Samsung S183A.
I have looked at the Codeguys site and they have a RPC1 firmware for the Samsung S183A.
Can I cross flash straight to the patched RPC1 Samsung S183A SB02 firmware, or should I first flash the TSST to the RPC2 S183A SB02 firmware then flash to the RPC1 version?
I have flashed other drives successfully before, so I am reasonably knowledgeable about the flashing process.
Many thanks in advance!

Flash it on your own risk!

HI everyone,
I took a risk and crossflashed my TSST H653A to RPC2 S183A SB02 firmware using the nocheck parameter.
Then I flashed to the patched RPC1 Samsung S183A SB02 firmware from the Codeguys site.....
And IT WORKED!!
I now have a region free drive.
One thing I should point out... I had to use an aftermarket DVD player software as Media Centre and Media Player wouldnt play the DVD (using Vista Home Premium). I think these programs dont like region free drives. To be honest, I dont like them anyway!!
Anyway, thats fixable with some other software patch for Windows....
I must say that the drive seems quiter now as well
Many thanks to the patchers and everyone else on here.
