and someone had asked how to detect the right firmware for dead drive , is say it doesnt take newton to see that.
Dudee , i'm certain that u can find out ur drive's model name etc.. , then download th e firmware and flash.

and well u r reeally a newbie if u donty know wwaht s flasshing and firmware.

firmware- small set of instruction (soft written of ur drive) that tells ur drive to do all activites and like bios for ur mobo it is bios for drive

flashing-updating or writing ur firmware.(common name for updating firmware and BIOS )

My 2 GB sandisk flash drive has been lying dead for months now. Whenever i connect it to my PC or laptop, It shows a message that the device is not recognized. I would like to ask and gain some knowledge before i head start and try. Is flashing the solution?

I have a Sony DRU-840A DVD writer but sadly there is no Firmware update for this model, neither on the Sony website nor on *forum.rpc1.org/portal.php

:sad:
