Hello Everyone,

I just purchased an LG GBC-H20L and through a bit of stupidity flashed the firmware to that of a GCC-H20L. The firmware flashing utility did not even try to stop me! It still works (shocking I know) at least with CD's. I would like a copy of the original firmware to re-flash it so that I know that blu ray's will play. I don't own any blu-rays so I can't exactly check it.

Anyone who owns the GBC-H20L could you dump your firmware (if you can even dump these firmwares) so that I can fix my drive. I just hope it isn't too late.

Thanks everyone.

William

The GBC and GGC drives use the same hardware, the GGC-H20L firmware will work fine on your drive.

You can crossflash your drive to a GGC-H20L, which voids your warranty.

How do you flash back to factory?

Are you saying there is no official FW for this drive.
