    Firmware update

    I bought some memorex 16x DVD-R discs and need to update my DVD burner firmware in order to be able to use the discs. How do I do this. the firmware version I have is 2.0 and from what I read from the readme
    You can only update from Firmwareversion 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17



    <table border="0" width="750"> <tbody><tr> <td width="100%">Firmwareupdate ND-2510A - Important Information:

    [F/W revision Brands]
    2.18 (WIN) - 11-Mrz-2005



    You will find information for firmwareupdate changes here or on our homepage`s FAQ:
    http://www.de.nec.de
    -> Support and Service -> Technical questions -> Optical storage -> DVD / DVD Writer

    </td></tr> <tr> <td width="100%">This Update works only with NEC ND-2510A (retail & bulk) drives, not with OEM releases. OEM means part of a full PC package or external USB or FireWire variant of this burner. For OEM products contact directly your dealer, distributor or manufacturer of PC- or USB/ Firewire- package for service, support and firmwareupdates.

    You can only update from Firmwareversion 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17
    . You can verify your current installed firmware with
    NERO InfoTool:
    http://www.nero.com


    Pls note following instructions for update procedure:

    Connect drive to secondary IDE channel as Master

    Disconnect all slave hardware from IDE secondary Master

    Use standard UDMA-2 IDE cable

    Update in Windows "Safe Mode"

    Under Windows 2000 & XP login as administrator

    Update without DMA mode, under Windows XP & 2000 in the device manager - "IDE ATA/ ATAPI controllers", you can switch from DMA to PIO mode

    Disconnect all external USB/ FireWire devices.

    Deactivate virusscanners, active desktop programs and packetwriting agents

    Do not turn off power during the updating process.

    Note: Warranty will be lost during false updating procedure, especially unofficial modified firmwares were used before.
    In such cases we could not offer you a solution any more. You have to repair it by cost then.


    </td></tr> <tr> <td width="100%">
    INSTALLATION: After unzipping file pls. double click on "K251GN81.exe" file, follow instructions.
    After, you have to reboot your system.

    If you have problems after updating your drive use following steps:

    1.Deinstall all your burnsoftware(s), also cleanup registry, e.g. registry cleaner can be found here
    http://www.nero.com

    2.Update your mainboard driver(s). Contact manufacturer of your mainboard/ PC package for newest one.

    3.Reinstall and update your burnsoftware.

        Wonder if you can install that firmware. There where two series of firmware for the Nec 2510.

        Either 2.0X or 2.1X. If you have the 2.0X version installed it might only work with the same serie if you are using original firmware. The latest firmware for the 2.0X serie is 2.06.



        For modified firmware you can find this list:

          sorry, I am not very good at this.

          my version is 2.0T not 2.0
          when i clicked on the flash for the 2.06
          It said that are you sure you want to revert to a previous firmware.

            The latest original one is 2.05C (if you are dealing with a Dell).
