i found this:
dw-q58a work with SOSW-833S firmware (VS04)

and this:
Sony DW-Q58A=DW-Q60A=LITEON SLM-831S

Is this true?

Do You have some files for it? It was my first firmware update and now drive is dead

I have external programmer, flash chip removed from drive and now i need file to programm

 

Hi.

the link i provided mentions a "XSF bin extractor", but the link is down at the moment.
