When it comes to the installation method, since most manufacturers provide their own way for upgrading ODDs, it’s best that you carefully read and understand the update steps, regardless if you’re a power user or a regular one.Īs for applying this software, before initiating the installation, it is recommended that you remove any disc from the optical drive, close all applications and processes that might interfere with the upgrade, and make sure that the system is connected to a stable power source (an update failure can seriously damage the ODD firmware). However, a firmware update doesn’t always include significant enhancements, and in some cases might not improve yours at all. About ODD Firmware:Ĭhanging your optical disk drive (ODD) firmware version can bring numerous changes such as compatibility improvements for different disc types, or various fixes for certain problems encountered during the unit’s lifetime. If the ODD does not operate normally after the firmware upgrade, normal use will be possible if you proceed with the firmware upgrade process again. Therefore, do not turn off the PC power supply by force while the upgrade is in progress.

The firmware upgrade process is organized so that the entire upgrade process is completed after the PC is automatically rebooted. So, save any data you are working on and close all programs before executing the upgrade. When firmware upgrade is completed, the computer is automatically rebooted. Check drive name and OEM CODE installed on your computer, to see whether it is the same firmware as the one to be upgraded.Įx: Domestic Model SH-S182M (F/W Ver.: SB04, OEM Code: SB)
