At first my dvd840x wouldnt burn or read anything. lightscribe or otherwise. i'd flashed it before in march of this year. that went fine no problems. a couple a days ago all of a sudden it stopped reading entirely. the access light would flash and i would hear it trying to read but no go. last night i found every version of the firmware for the gsa-h20l and the dvd840. i tried to flash it with the hp firmware first no go. then the lg firmware still no go. i had to find the HBLoader then W50S65JA firmware to get it to work. at this point it will now burn lightscribe but still no other reading or writing. i was tempted to believe the laser was gone but obviously it hasnt because i just lightscribed a label. so what it could be i havent the foggiest idea. any ideas?
