found updated firmware for TSST TS-T633A - burning issues solved!

This is revision D500, my 1737 came with revision D300 (bought in November 2008) and installing this has solved my DVD-R burning issues.

Listed for the studio 1435 but not the 1737 works fine though, I've installed and tested it tonight on my 1737.

Hope it helps someone!

 

How do you check your current firmware version? I have a Studio 1535 with the TSST TS-T633A.

 

how can I tell what revision my 1737 came with??

because my 1737 refuses to Burn DVD-R media period. DVD+R Burns perfectly no errors so far.

But I never see a full 8x Burn speed

 

download the file, it'll interrogate your system and tell you what revision you have before you flash the drive - I've got to say though, unless you bought the laptop VERY recently I suspect this firmware will be newer than the one you have.

Same as above applies to your question, however I can tell you I had the exact same issues with DVD-R's and trying to burn ANY format disc at more than 3x (CD or DVD) would fail... not so any more!
