I can't find Firmware for Delta 12X DVD

[Lee]

Hello All: I'm having trouble with my Internal Delta 12X40X DVD Player, it stopped recognizing, playing or opening DVD's . Before I trashed it I thought I would make sure that the Firmware was working correctly by reinstalling it but I can't seem to find it on the Internet. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Lee

Hi, firstly welcome. You seem to have posted in the wrong forum. It needs to be moved to firmware section in hardware forum:) Secondly http://www.deltacdrom.com/E2B4_024.zip : Firmware 0.24 is for drive with firmware Ver. 0.09 and below. http://www.deltacdrom.com/4465_240.zip : Firmware 2.40 is for drive with firmware Ver. 1.00 and above RPC-1 Hope this helps. Posts ya results please

Hello SirQUK, Thank You for the Welcome! When I went to the Firmware Section I was redirected, (apparently,) to the Websites Section. Sorry. I downloaded from the Link You provided but I can't understand how I am to install the Firmware. I guess I expected to copy it to a bootable floppy and install from a cold boot. Any help is most appreciated. Thank You, Lee PS I have Version 2.40 and I am using Win 98SE (Is this a Firmware or a Region Changer update?)

ok from the firmware read me file '1). Create a sub-director that contains mtkflash.exe and the .hex file (for example: C:\reflash) 2). Boot to a DOS prompt 3). Execute the program mtkflash.exe in DOS 4). See what IDE port the DVD-ROM is under windows entering screen. Remarks: IDE port has 4 parameters: 1-1st IDE, master 2-1st IDE, slave 3-2nd IDE, master 4-2nd IDE, slave 5). Run the mtkflash.exe with proper IDE port. For example, if the IDE port is 3-2nd IDE, master, you have to key the command like following: mtkflash 3 w ********.hex (and then press enter)(replace the *'s with the name of the hex file) 6). Then it shows updating 00%---> until to 100% it finishes. 7). Re-boot ' So if u create a folder in C: called reflash, you boot to Dos prompt, then type CD C:\reflash and then if ya drive is secondary master u would type: mtkflash 3 w 4465_240.HEX ( please replace the '3' with the number that matches ya dvd drive:) and thats it:)

Hello SirQUK, Thank You! I missed the underscore between the 5 and the 2. The flash went successfully when I followed Your directions. I didn't mention my particular problem; my Encarta Reference Library 2002 DVD-ROM does not work. Unfortunately it is still a no-go. I did try it on my neighbors DVD-ROM/CD-ROM Combo and it works O.K. I will probably get a scratch repair kit and see what happens. Thank You again for Your Help!!! Later, Lee
