Went ahead and uninstalled the driver. Rebooted. Everything is the same. I checked out windowscare. Haven't downloaded it yet. Do you know if I can save the firmware that's on in now, just in case something goes wrong with 1.4? | My System Specs |

You can download the previous f/w along with 1.4 and reinstall the previous in case.
Is the issue that is is not working or just not displayed right in Exlporer? F/W updates will change how fast the drive burns/reads or make other disks compatible. The drivers will determine how its displayed. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

There is no 2.0 firmware to dowload as far as I know. The highest is 1.4 according to the web site. Still don't understand how mine is 2.0 and the highest Sony shows is 1.4. I am hoping I can extract it before attempting to install v1.4.
The drive can read but it won't allow to write to any disc type. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I think the Nero tool is reading wrong info, 1.4 is the latest. Go to control panel/Device Manager and expand the CD/DVD Drives right click a device then Properties then Details tab. In the drop-down menu go to Hardware ID's, the true firmware version will be as shown in the snip below. then we can start from there hopefully.  | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Shows the same thing too. That's where I looked first. Then downloaded Nero to confirm. Think I will send Sony an email to see what they have to say. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Sounds like a good idea. They may not have updated their download page.

Try this shot-in-the-dark. Power off, disconnect the power and data cables from the suspect drive and reboot. Then repeat after re-connecting it. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
