Re: LG GSA-4082B not reading discs after firmware update
Auto-Reset is a RPC-2 firmware which sets back the regioncounter everytime the OS/computer is restarted.

Re: LG GSA-4082B not reading discs after firmware update
I too have a problem with the 4082b, as XP Pro doesn't seem to reconize it as a burner anymore ( when looking at the drive properties the region tab isn't listed). I have at least 5 different burner programs on my system. DVDFAB, Nero Burning, 1click copy, yadda yadda yadda. Any suggestions,???? Thanks in advance

Re: LG GSA-4082B not reading discs after firmware update
ok I got fed up with my LG-DVD-DRIVE-GSA-4082B and I just went and bought the samsung dual layer burner.
I couldn't wait any longer to find a fix for the problem.
I gotta say that I am very disapointed with LG and will try to stay away from their products in the future.
The new Samsung burner cost me $54 CDN.
I will keep checking back from time to see if there has been a fix for my LG burner. When that happens I will just put it in my other computer.
Thanks for everyones help.

-Daniel

@ilovecs: Just for the records, your drive failed without updating the firmware, right ?

Yes that is correct. My LG dvd burner was working great the day before.
I just booted my comp up and it stopped detecting any media.
I have just bought a Samsung Dual Layer burner which obviously is working fine.
Just waiting for a fix for the LG.
