Where to find Matshita firmware?
So it appears that i'm victim of the bogus optical firmware nonsense, my drive was working perfectly fine one day and the next day it will not mount any DVD's and only some CD's
So i've been looking to reflash my optical with any other firmware to see if this helps...thinking that i could bootcamp in with a WinXP flash but i cannot find any other firmware for this Matshita UJ-85J drive anywhere on the interwebz?!
I'm almost resorting to replacing the drive, i've found non-apple blessed models on eBay for a bill or i can get the real deal for $275 with core trade from the local apple repair shop
so what's the deal here...i'm afraid that i toss in a new optical and then the next OSX update rewrites it again and 'effs it all up
i use my optical drive everyday, i burn dvds and cd's all the time...so this is crippling to me and i need to fix this
