sony DVD+-RW DW-Q58A firmware

I'm having trouble burning data DVDs: when I put them in and try to burn, it sits there for a few minutes and the drive makes a lot of noise (you can sort of hear it go for a bit, then come to an abrupt halt, then start itself back up again) and then it tells me it's failed to write. It does this regardless of the speed I use. The drive is a sony DVD+-RW DW-Q58A, and the log provided by Nero for onesuch failure is replicated below, in case anyone can make enough sense of it to tell me what's wrong.

I suspect the problem is with firmware, and so I went to try and find the update. Nero tells me I'm using UDS2. The firmware page for my drive (http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2113) lists a variety of options, and I'm not sure which to pick. For one, I read in a different thread about someone who apparently had problems because he skipped an intermediate firmware, or something to that effect, so I don't know whether I should just pick the highest number or not. More importantly, they way they have them listed seems to indicate that the first three shouldn't be used with Dell computers (of note to me because my computer is a dell model), because they specifically point out Dell for UDS2, which seems to be the newest model for the Dell computers.

In sum:
1: Of the 5 firmwares on that page, which, if any, should I update to?
2: If firmware is not my problem, does anyone know what is?

Power calibration error

The media is probably of low quality, or not compatible with your burner. It is possible that a more recent firmware would improve the drive's ability to write to this disc.

The firmware version UDS2 is intended for drives in Dell computers. The UDS2 update, from Dell, is the only officially supported update for drives in Dell computers. Using any other firmware would void the drive's warranty in this case. If you do not care about the warranty or it has already expired, then you can try the UYS4 firmware which should be the most recent. Before flashing, you should make a backup copy of your drive's current firmware using mtkflash in DOS or the Flash Utility in Windows.I don't know if the UYS4 updater will let you flash your drive.

Thanks! I'll give it a try and let you know how it works out.

Update!

I was able to back up my firmware correctly, but when I went to run the UYS4 from here it gave me an...interesting error message.

Are these actually different models, or is the installer program wrong?

(addendum) the 'E' drive it has listed there is virtual, if that would or could make a difference.

UDS is not UYS firmware. Both are different OEM firmwares.

Get better media and fix this too:

So I can't put a UYS firmware on this drive? Just checking to make sure I understand.

safer to leave the firmware as it is, crossflashing to UYS is not advisable, add more RAM to the system,

The drive is manufactured by Liteon, and Liteon drives will usually work with firmwares from different OEM's if you can get the firmware to flash. You'd probably have to get a binary copy of a UYS* firmware from someone who has it, then flash with the flash utility that you used to create the backup of your firmware.

Try burning those discs at a lower speed, like around 8x or so. I was reading a thread on CDFreaks about how that worked better for some people using the same media that you have.

Here is how to update the drive to firmware UYS4. Took me some time to get all the tools but it worked after all.
1. get FlashFix from here http://digi.rpc1.org/flashfix.htm
2. get firmware UYS3 from here http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/23588 ... nload.html , as UYS4 will not work in flashfix directly, it has diferent check bits arhitecture.
FlashFix will make UYS3 work on any LiteON drive, so it will work on you UDS2 drive.
3. Patch UYS* with FlashFIX , burn the drive with it. Reboot, and now u can burn the drive with UYS4 , which is the newest for DW-Q58A.
I have a back-up of my UDS2 firmware, if you need it just buzz.

Any other place to download UYS3? Both links on the site your referenced don't work.

TIA

Nope, I'm looking for the UYS3 firmware, the link provided is for a different model and different firmware.

Does anyone have this UYS3 firmware somewhere? Of someone can take a backup from his drive with firmware UYS3?
