I have a Lite-ON DVDRW SOHW-16735 and it was working good. The only problem I had it would'nt burn to DVD+R Disk. I read about firmware upgrade, so I tried it and that was the wrong thing to do. The firmware was [JS05] then I upgraded to [BSOS] and after that my computer will not notice that the burner is even there and the green lite just keeps blinking. I'm running Windows 98SE and like I said it worked good all but the DVD+R disk until I upgraded the firmware. Could anyone Please Help me with this??? Thank's A Million...
Did you research the firmware to make sure it was compatible with win98? I know that some firmwares can be downgraded, so have you tried installing your old firmware back to it? Does you bios see the drive when you computer boots up? You can always try uninstalling the drive from the Device Manager.
i think you made an OOPS!. BS0S is for the 1633S, not the 1673S. see here for 1673S - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2026 and here for 1633S - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1934
